Diane Winter Ford

I am so sad to hear that Diane has lost her battle! I think of her with great fondness! I was a CIT with CIP Tinky, actually CIT Pinky, (we all laughed a lot about that accidental slip someone made)and we had such fun together. My family knew the Winter family as well, so our lives overlapped quite a bit for a while there. Nancy Spyksma let me know the news.
I will always think of Diane with her great energy, her direct frankness, her great smile, beautiful pink cheeks and blonde...

Dear Charlie, Julia, Beth and Ben,
We were so sorry to hear of Diane's passing. We are thinking of all of you. She will truly be missed. She was such a warm, caring and friendly person. Our hearts go out to you.
Love,
Megan, Connor and Makena

Dear Ford Family, I was very sad to learn of Diane's passing. These last two years she was a great support to me and my son at Alameda. She helped him with his blood sugar tests and we miss her this year.

Dear Ford Family,

I am saddened to learn of Diane's death. I knew her from Stephenson Elem. My son Andrew and Beth had some classes together and even took piano lessons from the same teacher at one point. I remember Diane's beautiful smile, it seems she always wore it. I am thinking of you and praying you will find peace. I have a special candle lit in Diane's memory today. Love, Carla Nilsen and Family

Dear Charles, Julia, Beth and Ben,
I feel like I know you because Diane talked so fondly of you while she worked at Bridger. She was the most wonderful person. I missed her very much when she moved to Alameda School. I miss her even more now. You have my very sincere sympathy for the loss of your generous, courageous mother. She will be remembered fondly by many, many people.
My very best to you all,
Barbara Coleman
Principal's Secretary
Bridger School

Dear Ford Family, I am so sorry to hear of Diane's passing. I too did not know Diane was ill. She was a welcome smile whenever she greeted anyone and had a natural way of making others feel at ease. She will be greatly missed at Alameda School.

Dear Charles, Julia, Elizabeth and Benjamin,

I didn't get an opportunity to know Diane personally, but I saw her often as the parent of a child at Alameda Elementary. I was saddened and shocked to hear of her passing as I had no idea she was ill. My sympathy goes out to you and I hope your good memories can bring you some comfort during this very difficult time.

Sincerly,
