Not sure what to say?

It was lovely to be reminded of Diane today, by reading all these memories from her friends and family. She was wonderful person! Thanks for the memories!

Diane was a dear friend of my sister Terri Plant. I met Diane in 1975 and I can assure you she hasn't changed a bit, That's a good thing. Say hi to Terri for me when you arrive to your next home..
Love you Diane

Whatever you were going to do with Diane, you knew it was going to be fun!

In life and in love Diane knew one gear: full throttle. It was a wonderful ride. A toast to a life well lived.

Diane is one of the first Portland bridge players I met when I was a beginning player. She was a very large force of nature in our bridge community. When my husband had a medical emergency, she was very supportive and always had a kind word for us at the club. She will be missed greatly. You could hear her laugh clear across the room.

Such a wonderful person

Diane, when see saw me, always told me I look so much like her son Bobby. You always knew there was going to be fun when over Diane was part of the group. I am happy to have known a person who was filled with so much energy and life.

As a friend of Brenda's as well as sharing in the heartbreak over Lisa, and knowing your dad Robert Hawes, I want to extend my best to all of you. No matter the age or the anticipated ending, losing one's mom leaves us with a real loneliness. May your mom embrace Lisa with love to give her happiness and peace as well as a sharing of the best memories with Robert. And Brenda and your brother and sister, cherish her memory with your lives in this uncertain world. Until then.....

Brenda, my condolences to you and your family. Although I never met your Mom, she left a beautiful legacy that I sure recognize in her daughter! Wishing you love and peace.
