Karen & Sandy, Your mom was always kind to me whenever I was over at your house when we were all young and just hanging out. She was a really nice and kind lady and I never forgot that. Your family and the Grillo's were our good neighbors when we lived in Fitchburg, and we never forgot that. Your mom lived a long good life, so good to hear that! I am very sorry for your loss of your beloved mother Karen, Sandy, David, Susie, and Paul. How I remember you all.

Rest in peace dear sweet Aunt Diane...you were such a big part of my life growing up. You were also our rock when my Mom (your sister) Dory was dealing with her cancer illness. Many times your words of love & encouragement gave us the strength to deal with Mom's last 4 yrs of life. I truly believe that you are in heaven, joined in unity with my Mom and everyone else we have lost in our families in the past years.
You were blessed with a wonderful, loving family. I know they will miss you, but your love will always be in their hearts.

My dear Karen, Sandy, Sue, Dave and Paul,
Your Mom was such a special lady. She welcomed all into her home and treated me as one of the family. I will always remember her smile, laugh, boundless energy and love for all. Her spirit lives on in each one of you. May happy memories comfort the entire family during this time. Love to all. Bernie

Diane was such a wonderful friend when I moved into Brooks Pond 9 years ago. Lonely and broken hearted, she cheered me up time and time again. With her constant encouragement, I joined the Bocce team, met new people and made new friends. Always smiling, always on the go, she was such an inspiring person. I will truly miss her.

Diane you lived and loved life to the fullest. Always smiling and so kind and sweet to everyone, I don't think you ever had an unkind word to or about anyone. Junie started on the fire department at the same time as my dad and I know my dad really enjoyed working with him. Your granddaughter was my nurse when I had knee replacement surgery in 2009 and for my dad after he suffered a stroke and she is so much like you, I know you must have been so proud of her. I really enjoyed working with you at the IRS and will never forget you. You had a lovely family and you were so proud and loved each and every one of them with all your heart. I'm sure Junie was waiting at the gates of heaven for you. Rest In peace Diane and fly high with all of the other angels.
My deepest sympathy to your family and friends, keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers! Love and hugs!❤❤❤

Dear Karen, Sandy, Siblings and Spouses,
My heart goes out to you during this time of your beautiful mom's passing. Prior to meeting her many years ago, my father, Leo Richard, would talk about this sweet, upbeat lady who would come into our family grocery store - Diane Boudreau. Finally, upon meeting her and getting to know her somewhat, it was clear that she indeed was exceptional! When in her presence one truly could feel God's love. I am deeply sorry for your great loss.
May God's amazing grace be with you during this deeply sad time.
Love and peace,
We love you. We will miss you.

Rest in peace Diane. You loved life! I had so much fun dancing with you at Nick and Sulma's wedding. You raised five beautiful children. I will toast you with a glass of red wine.
