Diane was such a great person to us, she was such a generous person always sharing her home made cakes, soups and friendship. She also had a great love for animals and enjoyed helping us walk our dogs, even in her sickness she cared for our dogs. Most of all she cared for her family and brought them together to share great memories. She will sadly be missed by us. Allen and Starla
