I will miss her always smiling face. Her genuine happiness at seeing you. I worked with Diane in the paper studio at Southwest School of Art. She was a wonderful artist too. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. I’m sure when we look to the heavens and see a beautiful sky we can say they Diane is painting in heaven again!
