Diane: Thanks to Ove for connecting us through geneology and our 8 generations back grandfathers. Still have the "family" necklace that you made me and will treasure our times together at family gatherings and the Swede Finn Historical Society event. You left us much too early. Johanna and Bill Padie

What a loss of a sharing and caring person. Diane was a very good listener and supporter of others. We were priviledged to have her in our women's group.

Diane, A few weeks ago I saw you and you were so happy hard to believe you are gone. You were a very caring and giving person. Your scholarships will help so many people. Rest in Peace. Pat Graber

Diane, you were my longest and dearest friend going way back to kindergarten. We shared so much. I'll never forget our summer times as kids at the lake cabin and our wonderful hiking trips throughout our adult years. You chose me to be your maid of honor at your 1st wedding. I'll cherish the beautiful necklaces you made and gave to me when we last saw each other in July. We had great times and I have good memories, thanks.

Diane, you have been a beacon to me since I first met you 24 years ago in that little basement room in the church at 10th and D in Lake Oswego. Your wisdom has guided many people in so many ways throughout your life. That wisdom is being passed on by all of us who have listened and followed your gentle experience, strength, and hope. Rest In peace dear friend. My love is with you, Val

You will be missed at our David Douglas luncheons. Rest in Peace.

A beautiful and compassionate soul who willingly gave herself to others. You will hold a special place in my heart always.

In loving memory Diane Smith. she was a very special woman. She will be thought of and missed by many of her friends.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.
