Dianna was a beautiful woman with a heart of gold. Always doing for others and serving the community. She was funny, loving and so caring to everyone she knew, those lucky enough to have met her received a true blessing. If you were feeling down or stressed and seen her, you would always leave feeling like the sun was shining and your mood, happy and joyful. I will miss her so much, her smile lit up every room she entered. Heaven will be a happier place for sure. I love you Dianna, my sweet friend.
