Ed, we were sorry to hear of Diana's passing. It brings us memories of the time we lived as neighbors. She is remembered as being so friendly and happy and talkative. May you find comfort in Jesus and in the knowledge of seeing each other in heaven.

Remember. Celebrate. Believe. Blessings to you all.

Mat, Kate and family, so sorry for your loss. Your mom was such a sweet lady. I will miss seeing her.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dianne was a beloved cousin. She was a talented artist and lover of children’s literature. She was an awesome baker and quiet, beautiful soul. My life has been blessed richly by having her in it. I love you forever Di!
