Diane was always a ray of happiness and joy. I will miss her deeply and am so glad that our Mary Kay businesses brought us together. Katie and Joseph, your mom was such a great woman, and was so proud of you both. I am so very sorry for her loss.

Katie and Joe,
We are deeply saddened by the loss of your Mom. We have always treasured the friendship with all of you. We are grateful for the wonderful times we got to spend with your Mom in recent years, both in Buffalo and Cleveland. Your Mom was always so excited about your accomplishments and relationships, and we know she will always be proud of you forever.
All our love,
Sue and Steve Braun, Streetsboro, Ohio

I've known Diane since we were in kindergarten at Laurelton school. I moved and we lost touch until high school where we rekindled our friendship. With Diane it was easy. Always smiling, always welcoming. After graduation we went our separate ways. She was always in my thoughts. I moved to Whitney Farms Circle in Fairport and a few years later Diane's sister Donna and her family moved in down the street! She would fill me in on how Diane was doing. Diane and I would see each other at our high school reunions. She seemed to never change. Always smiling, always welcoming. I enjoyed her company so much. My sincere condolences to all of you. May your memories keep her forever in your hearts.

Diane is part of the Wegmans "family" and will surely be missed. Her kind and helpful demeanor, even when times were rough, was an inspiration to all who knew her. We are saddened by your loss and hope you find healing and peace through your precious memories of her.

Diane worked in the cheese department at Wegmans; I worked in the deli department and the departments shared a connecting room. Little did we know until later, we also shared the same person (Stacey) who cut our hair. Our friendship grew from there. I will truly miss her big smile and positive attitude. She fought the great fight. Find comfort in knowing others share in your pain.
