Not sure what to say?

I'm so sorry to hear about Diane's death. She was in my wedding and I have many fond memories of her parents and Gail.

It is my hope that Diane's family can find some peace in the knowledge that she helped so many people through the great difficulties and loss that they experienced in their own life. May all of the comfort and care that she provided to others come back to her family and friends to help them and comfort them through this loss.

When I looked at my calendar today for the upcoming weekend my eyes found our dinner date for March 2nd. Your brother John, Melissa, Masoud, Bart and I were to enjoy a marvelous feast prepared by you. It's still not real and so sad to know that this planned get together and future ones won't happen. I am so grateful to have known you these many years and appreciate the movies, the dinners, the talks about family and travel. You were a high spirited, gifted and accomplished person in many...

I am so sorry for Diane's family and loved ones. I was her patient and she is a huge loss for me; i can only imagine the loss she is for those who love her. She was absolutely wonderful. Talented, good, smart, beautiful, strong, kind, and a very good physician. I miss her very much, and she helped me a great deal. God Bless.

Diane saw several of us Air Force psychiatry residents. Working with her was undoubtedly the most valuable part of my training. I talked with her for years after I left San Antonio and saw her when I would return. I will miss her. I am such a better human being and physician because of her care.

Early college was something close to a nightmare for me. My constant state of anxiety tailed by deep wells of depression made every day a challenge. I would find myself outside classroom doors losing my breath, heart racing, panicked. My academic and social lives declined in unison. I didn't have the emotional intelligence or vocabulary to understand what I was going through, nor how to claw my way out of the pit. I sought help from Dr. Diane Lawson Martinez in San Antonio. In working with...

In deepest sympathy for the loss of lovely, thoughtful, sweet gentle Dr Diane Martinez. Michelle Copeland, DMD,MD

When Diane moved to ElDo she became a fast friend for several of us that grew up there...she always had a smile and winning way...she doesn't look a bit different today than the first day I saw her...she and I had Senior P.E. together and we ran laps around the gym instead of playing volleyball...and it was a habit she help me begin and I still do today...I was just thinking about her the other day...just wish I had said a prayer for her then...will be praying for you dear family and friends...
