There is not a more tragic thought than knowing someone who was such a beautiful, caring, and loving person, mother and wife has been taken from those who loved here dearly. I never had the opportunity to know you Joan, but I know the person you were to others. I pray that you are somewhere beautiful and safe from life's miseries. I pray for your family, that they will be able to endure such an intimate loss. That they will be comforted all through their lives. And I will pray that your case will be solved and the one responsible brought to justice in our time. God be with you dear lady.. I'm so very sorry for you.

Dear Diver and Barney families,
I heard about the death of your dear Joan on the news. I had no idea at the time that I knew her or of her. It turns out that I not only know her family here in Granger but also her inlaws. My heart goes out to you all. I too am a nurse....I feel another connection to her....... May you find comfort, love and support at this time. God bless--- Ruby

To the Diver Family,
I do not know your family personally but I have been watching this tragedy unfold on the news. When Joan was first reported missing, and I heard she was a mother of 4 I thought please God let her be ok...her children need her. Once I heard the terrible news I knew your family would never be the same. Know in your heart that she is watching over your family now - and she is in a better place. She will always be with your children - we have to believe that. Only time and strength will get you through this terrible time. My thoughts are with you and your children. God bless.

Dear Diver family,
My heart breaks for your family. I'm also a mother of four & have used the bike path. Often using Davidson road as my turn around point. I know from my own experience with a tradgic death (my daughter) how hard your days ahead will be. I just want you to know you're in my thoughts.

I wish to extend my sincerest heartfelt sympathy for your loss. I know words alone aren't enough to comfort you at this saddened time. May God Bless you all and keep you in his care to get through this difficult time.
Night falls,
but day dawns to replace it...
Grief comes,
but time will ease the pain...
Life ends,
but death cannot erase it...
In memory,
love always will remain.
There are those
whose lives
death cannot diminish.
Their love radiates
forever in the hearts
of friends
and loved ones,
and their light shines on
in the lives
they've touched
for so many years.

To the Diver family.
My deepest and most heartfelt condolences go to you, the family of Joan Diver.Losing someone you love, in such a tragic way is the worst feeling in the world. My brother was murdered in July and I never cried so much in my life, but please know that she will never again feel anything but happiness, while she waits for you in Heaven. She sounds like a very special person, that will leave behind a beautiful legacy of goodness, kindness and love. I believe that when her spirit left her body, she looked into the face of GOD and now she watches over you, her family, until you meet again. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Diver family:
I knew Joan and Carter from the Mommy & Me playgroup Joan ran last year. She was such a warm, genuine person, and a wonderful mother. My daughter and I will never forget the muffins she baked every week for the children in the playgroup -- a gesture that illustrated what a kind and thoughtful person she was. Our family will keep you in our thoughts.

Dear Steve, Conrad, Collin, Claudie and Carter. Words can't express how sorry we are at the loss of your wonderful wife and Mom. Joan brought Carter to the Mommy & Me classes that I taught for a couple of years. She was such a terrific mom and had such a wonderful way with everything that I asked her to replace me when I left. All of the moms and children from the mommy and me will miss her warmth, wisdom and smile. I will miss her tremendously. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Please know that we are all here to help..anytime. Cynthia Gardner

To the dear family of Joan,
I was one of Claudie's pre-school teachers at Page One Pre-School. I remember how happy Claudie would be to see her mother when she picked her up every day, and how excited Joan was when she learned that she was expecting her fourth child. After Carter was born, Claudie would gently kiss her little brother on the forehead when Joan brought him into the classroom. What a loving family!
Words cannot express how saddened I was to learn of Joan's tragic death. My heart goes out to your family, especially Claudie. Please know that others are thinking of you and care deeply.
With heartfelt sympathy,
"Miss Janie"
