To Diana's Family,
I am sorry to learn this news. I met Diane on vacation in Jamaica in 1992 and I will always remember her as vivacious, fun loving and kind. We instantly became friends and we had a blast buying jewelry in Jamaica.
We kept in touch, but didn't see each other very often since I lived in Indianapolis and now Kansas City. Soon after we became friends her health deteriorated and I am glad that she is now free of pain and suffering.
I treasure the Christmas stocking and baby quilt she made for my daughters.
My prayers go out to you for losing such a special person.

Dear Blaine and Frankie,
I am so sorry to hear about Diane. I will miss her and our phone conversations. They were never dull. She was a smart lady. There was not s subject that she did not know something about. Get her going and I would just add yes or no or explain that to me again. It was hard for her to understand why my memory was not as good as hers. Anything I could not figure out or wanted to know about, she could give me the answers. The lady was a whiz! I will miss those conversations. I have know Diane since you guys were little boys. She was a fun and knowledgable person. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to you boys. You had a special Mom.
Just one of her many friends,
Linda Brown
