I had the pleasure and honor of knowing Diane. She was a neighbor and fellow parishoner at St. Charles Borromeo. After I left the parish she never forgot to keep in touch. A kinder and more loving person could not be found. She will be remembered with great affection and appreciation.

Yes, when I think of Diane I think of flowers too! She was a "ray of sunshine".....always there to help. Diane was a wonderful friend. My family and I will miss her presence in our lives, but she will forever be in our hearts.
