Diane,
My sympathy goes out to your family and also to your sweet Debbie.
I have known you for quite some time and have enjoyed your laughter and felt your sorrow. You had more than your share of struggles in the last few years. You stood tall and rose above them. I know you are an angel in heaven sitting on top of your own special rainbow. I know too that my little Candy, Yo-Yo and Shu-Shu are sitting beside you.

You will be greatly missed by me, Raoul and of course our fuzzy four legged Gizmo and Cookie who jumped from my arms to yours when
I brought them to you and never wanted to leave you when i came to pick them up.
Thank you Diane for being you because that was your special gift to all of us.

To all of Diana's customer's,
I did not have any of her appointment books. Diana had all of customer's phone numbers in the books that are in the house and I did not have anyway of attaining them, I am so sorry to the one's that did not find out in time, for I had nothing to do with any of the planning that took place after Diana's untimely death. My Mother did put a memorial in Tuesday September 11 paper and also in Sunday's September 16 paper from me and babygirl.
Diana, I love and miss you with all my heart and soul. I just want you here with me and the babygirl. It hurts so bad not being able to see you are never able to touch you again. I take everyday one second at a time. I will Love you forever, Deb

Diana,
We've known you for quite a few years and shared our babies with you, Tory, Coco, Blaise, and Lola. I know Tory, Coco And Blaise were there to meet you at the pearly gates, when you got there, as were many other four legged friends. You truly had a gift with animals and with people. You have been in our prayers, since Katrina, with your struggles to get your house fixed up and then with the news of the cancer. You were very courageous in your fight and I know the good Lord must have had special plans for you, to have taken you at such a young age.
Debbie,
Diana always had good things to say about you. You will be in our prayers, as will Diana's family. I'm sorry we didn't find out till this morning when I read Friday's paper. We were truly heartbroken and shocked to see Diana's picture.
Diana, it was an honor to have known you and you will be in our hearts and prayers forever. Lola will really miss you. God Bless You!
Kathy Dutsch & Vikki Manno

My buddy Big D,
My condolences to the entire Walton family and also to Debbie...
I have only known my family as long as i have known you. Austin and I will miss you more than you will ever know. You loved us like we were family. It is very rare to find a true friend like you. Our hearts are heavy because we lost you but knowing you are in a better place without all the pain and worries helps ease our sorrow. You are now with your parents and 2 brothers who you missed so greatley. Now we will have to miss you until it is our time to be called home to the Lord. You knew how to make me smile when i was down, shared in my happiness and joy, fussed me when i needed it and now i will have to talk to you in my prayers. You were such a beautiful person. I will miss those long chats, being able to call whenever i needed, hanging out by the pool and so much more. I am glad I had the privilege of being your friend. Whenever I see a rainbow in the sky I will know it is you smiling down on everyone you knew.

First I like to thank everyone for all the love and support, thank you all for the cards,calls,flowers and plants sent to my house. You all will never know how much each and every thing you all have done means to me and babygirl. To Diana, I have loved you from the day I meant you and as time went on my love grew stronger with each day, month, and 17 years and 9 months that went on. I was the last person to see you that morning at 4am and the last person you talk to at 8:47 that morning. You told me you were tried and I told you to go lay down and get some rest, I know you are resting in Gods arms now. You lived your life like we all wish we could, one day at a time. Life is way to short not to live that way. You lived each day like it was your last, You loved and were loved. Diana I love you with all of my being, there is a whole in my heart that will never be filled again. If I could have took your cancer and your pain away, you would still be here. You told me just last week if something happen to you, you would always be with me, well baby I need you now. You said on a warm summer day if I felt a cool breeze go across my neck that would be you standing next to me. I know you loved rainbows, so ever time I see one I will know you will be waiting for me on the other side.Babygirl misses you so much, she keeps waiting for you to walk in my moms house. I don't know how I will live without you, I will LOVE YOU ALWAYS, Debbie
