Will miss your smile and infectious laugh! It´s been years since high school but you and your family were and are unforgettable. I know you have the whole crowd in Heaven laughing. I watched you speak your mind and get away with it because you were a born comedian. Thank you for teaching me how to find and see the humorous side of every situation! I will never forget you and I´ll see you again. Have I got some stories for you!

Diane was our next door neighbor. She was such a bright and loving person. We enjoyed her beautiful smile and the way she cared so much for others. We would often talk and share what was happening in our lives and the community. She lived animals and would take her pets as well as others on walks to make sure they were cared for. Such a loving, warm, and genuine friend who would be so inspiring. She is missed very much, but we will see her again in Heaven. Thank you Diane for being such a dear friend, you truly blessed our life.
