To the Elder Family. I'm just at a lost for words. I am so so sorry about Diane, I just found out after attempting to local her. My family met Diane in 1996 when my son Eddie Lockhart was diagnosed with cancer. She was such inspiration to him, helping him to overcome so many obstacles. We love you and will never forget you!

I danced with Diane in High School and she was always performance ready! She was a passionate, magnetic dancer. When I hear "It´s not right but it´s ok" I think of her and Erika´s ponytail flipping, sassy, sharp choreography. It was a new sound and she was so excited to put a routine together. It´s one of my fav memories as a dancer, sharing that space and witnessing her joy. Rest in peace, beautiful Diane.

Me and Diane always bonded over both being Pisces and our dating troubles and I wish we had more time for us to get out there and explore the city. It's so crazy how we were both going through the same highs and lows and when she had a situation I had the same kind of thing going on. She always kept me up to date on what was going on spiritually and going on with the stars and such a GENUINELY kind person and it was such a beautiful experience us finding out how much we have in common. I deeply treasure that connection and will always keep you in my heart Diane.
