I met Diane in 1974.
Life was never the same!
We have had countless good times and made countless great memories.
We stayed in touch for many years, watching Tammie and Tanya ,and my kids grow up.
She even got me the job at Pizza World.
Sadly , we have lost touch over the last 20 years.
We talked last Fall and laughed so hard, we couldn“t understand what the other one was saying!
I am so sorry this happened to her.
I am so sorry I did not get to see her and hug her.
But DIDi I will always keep you in my heart,FOREVER
Your dearest and old friend
Tina

So very sorry to hear about Diane. She was a home health aide for my mother several years ago. We always knew our mom was being well taken care of while we were at work. How my mom loved Diane! They made cookies together and enjoyed crocheting together, sharing different patterns. She was a blessing to our family and such a caring person. Please know that we are thinking of your family at this difficult time.

Diane was a patient at our office who always walked in with a smile, even during "not so great days" I would always see her shopping in Wal-Mart as well and never missed an opportunity to chat and catch up with her. She was a wonderful human being! My deepest sympathies to her family.
