Not sure what to say?

Tom and family We are so sorry to hear that Diane passed away. Diane was so welcoming to everyone she met we had a nice phone visit in February. She will be missed by everyone that knew her. Regards John and Judy ORourke

Diane was much more than a customer to me. She was delightful and so interesting to chat with over the years. Such a warm and caring person. Tom, I hope your family and memories of Diane will comfort you during this sad time. Julie

Tom, David, Dean & Nancy, Diane and I had a long time association beginning in the 80's at Mott Community College. We worked, advocated, critiqued and had much fun at Disability Services from the time I hired in in 1981. we reconnected as friends in 2017 and had many great conversations and laughs! I will miss her and her quick wit and on-point observations of human behavior. She loved you all, as you know. We enjoyed trading stories about our children and grands. I offer you my condolences...

Tom I will always cheerish the memories we formed together with you Diane and David. Diane was a leader, a mentor and always planning. I will miss her friend ship.

I miss you Mom, you´re with Jesus now and that is all that matters. I will always hold our dearest memories together close and always in my heart.

I get to see you in my daughters´ face everyday, and I promise to always share special moments and memories you had with them so they will remember all the great times. I couldn´t have asked for a better Mom. This is not a goodbye, but a, "see you later". I...

Diane worked at Mott College in Flint. We had a wonderful group of people who worked together in the 70´s and 80´s and we have kept in contact through the years. We had so much fun working together and laughing together. Such a great part of our lives. Marie, Joyce, Charis, Nancy, Linda, Donna. And Marge and Delores, Irene, Eleanor, Linda Lee, Mark, Cina, Danelle, I probably forgot some. But know that we had a great team. In the past few years we have called ourselves The Motley Crew...

Dear Tom, I am so sorry for your loss. I´ve been married for 50 years also, so can only imagine the grief you´re experiencing. Let your sons and grands help you. Always, Annie

Though I didn't know her well, Diane was by all accounts an absolutely wonderful person. We only met a few times, notably at my (and Tom's) grandfather's 80th birthday in early 1975. My condolences to Diane's family and friends. May she rest in peace.
