Not sure what to say?

Think of you often. Now I share memories of you with your sister Joy. Till we meet again....

Diane's legacy, rightfully, lives on here and within the many lives that she has touched. May the God that touched her life so deeply touch the lives of many others.

On this upcoming anniversary of our sister-in-Christ, Diane, we are reminded of her warmth, her humor and her steadfast faith that continues to inspire all whose lives she touched. Joyce and I miss you but we are immersed in very fond memories of the Bible studies that we enjoyed in your home in Stoneham.

Her wonderful sparkle will continue to inspire the rest of us.

Dear Bob, accept our since condolences. Diane was a lovely person. Our thoughts and prayers are with all her family. Ellie and Don

Please accept my sympathies and know that my prayers are with you and your family.

Diane....one of the sweetest ladies we have ever met. We were very fortunate to have both Diane and Bob in our circle of square and round dance friends. We will miss her dearly.

Just a note of thanks for 2 very giving people. You still find a way to lift others up through all your tough times. Thanks. J-

My Christmas tree is soon to be put up with many ornaments painted by Diane. How I cherish these and will miss having more.
I'm sure the Lord will use her talent to help paint flowers and rainbows so the whole world can enjoy her work.
