I am deeply saddened with the death of Diane. I admired and respected her for all she did for me and everyone else she came in contact with. Every day I'll wish her back into my life. We had so much fun with the Clowns, Tin Lizzies, and all our El Said Court and Shrine activites. She can not be replaced. All my Love, Lois Curtiss ( "Pins" )

Diane Wright,
When I think of Diane, I see a smiling face, with a sparkle in her eye~ saying "Hi Grilfriend, how are ya."
Diane was a true friend in thick and thin.
She is gone~ But she never will be forgotten.
