"DIANE SUCCEEDED"
To laugh often and much.
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children.
To appreciate beauty, To find the best in others, To leave the world a bit better -- whether by a child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition. To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
"THIS IS TO HAVE SUCCEEDED"
P.S. - Life is measured by how many people's lives you've touched. Diane has so many lives, and they will always keep a piece of her alive in their hearts.

We are so very sorry for your loss.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Diane was the sweetest of sweet. We loved having her as a client but more importantly a friend. She will truly be missed.
Sincerely,

I was so so sorry to hear about Diane.
She was an amazing person. I will always remember her as a bright person, who radiated eneegy and light. She always had a smile for everyone she passed in the hallways in high school. I will never forget her.

Dear Teresa,
Having lost my Mom recently, I know the vacume you must feel: you go to pick up the phone, but you can't call! My deepest sympathies. I have no doubts about the "better place"- and I know that, if she is anything like you, she is there!
Diane looking gorgeous as always...

To the family of Diane:
I am deeply sorry for your great loss. Diane was a colleague at the Executive Office of Elder Affairs and a friend to many. Diane's death was a tremendous shock and a great loss to all of us who knew, loved, and worked with her. I will never forget her bright smile. Her sweet spirit will always be with those who were so fortunate to know her. She will be sorely missed everyday, but in our hearts will always stay.
My heart goes out to all of you, and may you find strength and comfort in all of your wonderful memories of Diane.

To The Family of Diane,
It was most shocking to hear of this tragically unexpected and sudden loss. We are very saddened for her loss and for all of you.
Diane had a shining presence, very captivating, along with the warmth and brightness of her grand smile. These are the qualities that stand out most in our memories of her, reminding us of the lingering spirit of her specialness.
Fondly,
Diane with her pal Will who already misses her.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Diane's family on your loss. I had the privilege of working with Diane on anti-tobacco issues at the Mass. Coalition for a Healthy Future a number of years ago and both enjoyed her as a person and respected her as a professional. She was very special! You are in my thoughts and my prayers.

Dearest family of Diane,
We are shocked and terribly saddened by this devastating loss. She was such a loveable person, and will always carry a place in our hearts. I hope that, with time, you will be comforted by your wonderful memories of her, and knowing that you had the fortune to at least know her and love her and be loved by her for 35 years, as short as that is. We had great times in our summer Cape house last summer. She was one of the first to find out about us expecting a baby, and it saddens me so that he never got to meet her. We are so sorry for your immense loss; our thoughts are with you all.

To Mel and all of the Applegate Family, We were so sorry to hear of the sudden death of Diane. Our memories are from long ago of Diane visiting us on Cape Cod with the other children. I never saw Diane when she wasn't smiling. Your family has had many sorrows and we send our love and sincere condolences to all of you. Love Peter and Anne Gannon
