I remember how huge Diana´s heart was for all Gods creatures. The borzoi hounds were as classy as Diana. I recall she got sick once and too antibiotics that was actually leftover from one of the dogs. Remembering you fondly. RIP until we meet again!!

My tears are falling. Diana and I had always been close in friendship back at Bloomington High School. She and I always kept a friend connection throughout all these years. I had worked at the Pantagraph for a couple of years and enjoyed seeing Diana every day.
I was just thinking about her last week and wondering how I could get back in connection with her, as I was missing her, but now I know that connection is too late as I cry tears.
I will always carry a fond friendship of love toward my sweet friend in life, Diana.
I am so sorry for your loss of your mother, Grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend.
My heart is sad with tears. I wish that I could have seen her one last time.
Goodbye sweet friend, Diana.
I always loved our friendship.

Diana was a wonderful Lady who would move heaven and earth to help a dog in need. She had several rescues, both Greyhound and Borzoi. She was always there to answer the call to help. I was so lucky to have finally met Diana in 2012 at the Dewey Beach event. What fun we had. She is missed greatly by those of us in rescue as well as those closest to her. Diana will always be remembered and honored by all of us in The National Borzoi Rescue Foundation. No doubt she was greeted with tail wags and kisses by all of her very much loved animals that were waiting at the Rainbow Bridge. Walk in peace surrounded in Love Dear Diana. You are missed

Jennifer - I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I'm sure you don't remember me - I worked with your mom at the Pantagraph for years, and you were my flower girl at my wedding in 1984. My mother also work with your mom in the circulation dept. at the Pantagraph - Phyllis Miller. I remember your mothers love for the dogs=
I am so sorry to hear about her passing. Thoughts and prayers to you.
I knew your grandmother Pat Weed very well too - lived them all.
God Bless>p=O<û

My son, Andy, was a Pantagraph carrier for about eight years; of course, I was his helper. Diane was on our route as well as our 'go to' person in the office. She always treated us like family. She knew who we were when we called, and she always treated us with kindness. We were saddened to learn of your loss.
