Dear Mrs Woodcock and Steve, I was VERY sorry to hear about Diane's passing.From the entries here it sounds as if she had health problems that caused her much suffering during her short life, which makes me feel very sad for her and for you in helping her bear her pain. Please accept my sincere condolences.I will keep her and both of you in my prayers. Take care, Kathy

Dear Diane - We shared so many good moments and laughter and those memories do bring comfort and make me smile but then there are times when the grief takes over even though I know you’re free of pain and sorrow. You and your smiling face and all the little ways you showed you cared will always be missed. Your loving sister

WHAT A LOSS.WILL MISS YOU DIANE.FROM DENNIS JACKSON

Ill never forget Diane's moving day into Pine Towersw. Diane was upset and called me three times to make sure that the elevator loading door would be ready for her. It was and she moved in like clock work.

From that time on, Diane truly became a "Pine Tower" resident. I could always depend on Diane for a passing joke or a friendly greeting to lift me up.She and her care were available without question to anyone who needed a favor or a pick-up or an errand. And always ALWAYS with a smile and quip that made you feel her genuine love and care of her friends.

After some medical problems, through which whe maintained her confindent spirit and sense of humor, she had to give up her car and free rides and became jut a loving and caring neighbor of Pine.

She didn't ask---she gave to her utmost.

I'll never forget you, Diane. Now, you've got the same choire that I had for you. You make very sure that the Doors of Heaven and open and ready to receive me when it's my turn to enter.

I'll always love you, Diane, and thank-you for all of the "little things" you did. Hang some windchimes around your palace so I'll recognize your home in Heaven.

God hath given! God hath taken away! Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

+Blessings and love,
Dick McCollough
