Aunt Diane will be missed. She was a loving wife and mother. Her travels never failed to amaze us. She had a gentle soul and a wonderful personality. We are sorry, after taking care of our Uncle's Parkinson's, she then had to battle ALS herself. She will always be in our hearts.

My condolences to the family. My connection to Diane was through her daughter Kammie. Anybody who raised such a wonderful daughter must have been an incredible person. Kammie our thoughts are with you. Jeff Wald
