Hi Diane - You may be gone but not forgotten! Where did the time go...it's now January 2010! Our time together was priceless. Your family was so blessed and so were we at Bryan Cave. Many fond memories will be held in our hearts. God Bless You! Thanks for being a good person and one marvelous human being and a great friend.

Rest in peace and we'll see you on the other side. Love - Betty Quitter, Lmobard, IL

Diane was not only a great co-worker, but a special friend. We shared a weekly lunch out at which we compared our lives which ran parallel to one another in many ways. I miss talking with her. She is in my prayers. Knowing all the physical strife she contended with, I know she is now riding a horse through a beautiful meadow up in heaven. Until we meet again . . .

To Letty, Jenine, Joann, Gail and the rest of the family; I'm so sad about Diane's sudden passing. Recently, I saw the video of Diane teaching Ashton to be a "real horsebacker". I will always remember sitting in the backyard and admiring the beautiful fish pond that she built. She was a wonderful person.

And so it goes that there is a place called "Rainbow Bridge" where our pets who preceded us are waiting. I would like to think that Diane has now crossed Rainbow Bridge with her pets and they are all sitting in God's garden. To Diane's family: please accept my heartfelt sympathy in your loss.

To Diane - I'm heart-broken at the sudden loss and honored that I met and worked with you. I've nabbed a couple of good reads from your 'other library' in the kitchen. We'll keep it going.
To Diane's family - Diane was one of the good guys. She always had a smile or a chuckle for me. My sincerest condolences.

When I heard of Diane's passing, I was struck with disbelief. She and I worked together at a local Great Dane club for several years and had a wonderful friendship. Diane could be funny, determined, brave and fair all in the same sentence. She was a hard worker with a keen sense of good judgement and an asset to anything she committed herself to. I am a better person for having been her friend and will miss her deeply. Of course, none of this is news to Diane's many loving family members and friends. You are all in my thoughts at this sad time.

I learned today on my drive back to Chicago of our recent loss of a very wonderful person, Diane. Diane will surely be missed by her many many loving co-workers. Although deeply sadden by Diane's sudden lost, I truly hope that your most fondest memories of Diane always bring and smile to your face and are forever lasting. May Diane find peace in the heavens and may you find comfort in your heart knowing she is now with our Lord.

It was a pleasure to work with Diane for the short time that I did. She was always very positive and willing to help. She will be missed.

As you can already see from these messages, Diane touched the hearts of many, many people. Saying she will be missed doesn't even begin to explain the way she impacted everyone's life that she touched. She was one of my best friends and will always remain in my heart. She was by my side the day I buried my dad and the day I got married and everything in between. I love you friend and will miss you always. My prayers are with you... Mrs. Albertson, Jenine, Gail, Joann and your families.

Our deepest sympathies are with your family at this very difficult time. We have only known Diane a little over a year and a half but she truly touched our hearts. Diane was a wonderful horse owner and a terrific boarder. She was always willing to help us in anyway at our barn and she will be greatly missed by everyone. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Sncerely,

In Memory of A Special Lady - Diane will always be special -- Her Laugh, her love of animals and her genuine kind way of taking care of everyone here at Bryan Cave. You couldn't ask for a better co-worker. We had good times together and enjoyed when she shared her video clips of her horses with us. Sure hope you find comfort in knowing she was very special and added a lot of fun to the world. It was a great pleasure to know Diane. She will be in our hearts and your family will be in our prayers. Love, Betty Quitter

Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. I was saddened to hear of Diane's passing. I got to know Diane when she was working at LBB. She was truly a kind and lovely person. I hope that knowing Diane is with her Heavenly Father brings you comfort. Give thanks to the Lord for the time you had with her, and rejoice that she's now home.

Diane was so great about helping me when I got my Great Dane. I wonder if she still had her dogs. This is so sad - my condolences. We worked together at Lord Bissell.

It was a joy and privilege to work alongside Diane during my first months at Bryan Cave. No one worked harder, with more humor or with less complaint... I will particularly remember her devotion to her horse, her dogs and her family.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. We worked together at LBB and had a lot of good talks in the lunchroom. Diane was a good person to know. I am so very sorry for your loss.

I have only known Diane for a couple of years, being a co-corker of hers with the law offices of Bryan Cave. Within that relatively short period of time, I'd come to know and see what a great person she was. Always friendly, approachable and always willing to help. I know she'll be sorely missed by the family and in addition, the Bryan Cave family will miss her also.
