Oh how I will miss you, Diane. The sweetest, most genuine, funny, and kind person that I have had the chance to know. You were a gift to so many, and also a friend and teacher to me. ❤

I am heartbroken. Diane is one of the finest people I have ever known. Her heart held so much love for the children and families she served so well. I learned so much under her guidance when I took over the B-3 Program and could not have done my job without her. I could not have asked for a more perfect role model. A beautiful person. One of a kind. We are all better for knowing her. Heaven got one heck of a dancer! Vaya con Dios, Mrs. Claus.

Ive known Diane since I was in grade school, back when Emma and I were attached at the hip. I have only fond memories of her; she was always welcoming and kind, always offered me dinner at their house or giving me a ride home. My family is saddened to hear of her passing, but trust she is in a better place, and is at peace. Her memory will live on with each of us.

I only met Diane a couple of times when she was with her son Nate. She was so sweet. I am so sorry my friend Nate. Much love and prayers.

Diane came into my life about 15 years ago when my Son Joe came into Jessi's life. She took me into her family just as she did Joe. Such a kind sweet woman, Spent Thanksgiving, Easter, Birthdays,Christmas either with her or in her home. She was Nana to her Grandaughters Basil and Emma, I was Grandma To Basil. What a loss for her family, Tom, her children, Jessi and Nate and her Grandaughters Emma and Basil. She will be missed.
