So sad to be taken away from her family and friends so soon in life. Prayers to her family. We had many great times living down the street from each other growing up. She will be dearly missed by all I'm sure.

Diane was a bright spot in our day and will be truly missed by her team members at OneMain. I was lucky enough to share almost 14 years getting to know Diane...with many shared jokes and lots of teasing! She knew how to enjoy herself and while she was somewhat reserved when it came to sharing personal information, she never hesitated to share how blessed she felt to have George and her family in her life.

George, I want to send my deepest sympathy to you and your family for the loss of your wife. I never knew your wife, but can see by the photo's that you had a beautiful life with a beautiful woman. It's been many many years since I have seen you. Mike Bitzel called me to pass this sad news. Old friends, old neighbors tend to drift back into your like in a time of need. May God give you comfort and healing in your heart. Sending thoughts and prayers to you.
Your old neighbor,
Janice LaRicci-Boyer

Dear Geroge and Kevin, our hearts are broken as yours. I always looked forward every year having you and Diane and friends fishing or crabbing on the Ellen-R and the phone call from you two leading up to the trips. Diane was One Special Lady and I have become so fond of you both over the years. She was such a wonderful person, so full of life and laughter. No words can express how I feel. Bless you both. Capt. Jeff Ruth

I am so saddened by the passing of Diane who I got to know over the years in working with her. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "It is not the length of life but the depth of life",and as I look through the lovely photo tribute, a smile comes to my face to know that I was privileged to have shared in part of her life. My thoughts and prayers to her family during this difficult time.

Those we have held in our arms for a little while, we hold in our hearts forever. Diane will never really be dead as long as the ones that loved are alive. I wish I could be there to put my arms around George and Kev, but know a toast to the life of Diane and to the happiness she brought was done on the evening of August 11th. If there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to let me know.

I am truly saddened by the passing of Diane who I worked with for over 11 years. To me, and many others she worked with, she was affectionately known to us as "Housty". She was a dedicated employee who always gave her best and could always be counted on. George, Kevin and the rest of the family, know that we hold in our heart so many great memories of "Housty" and we will continue to keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Though our hearts are heavy with sadness, they're filled with years of laughter and great memories of our "Housty" aka "Lady D". She brought a unique flare and feisty FUN to us every day. She wasn't a coworker but a friend to all. We will miss her dearly. Your family is in our hearts and prayers.
