Paul, Carey and family, I have so many fond memories of Dianne. I was blessed to have known her and to have called her a friend. We had lost contact in the past 8 or 9 years so I was truly shocked to learn this news.
My love and sympathy to all.

Paul and Family,

I only knew Dianne for a short time when we attended school together in Aberdeen, NC. Her sister, Patsy, was in my grade and Dianne was in the class below us. I'm glad to hear and read that Dianne had a full and happy life and please accept my sincerest condolences. She was always full of life and laughter and had a smile for everyone. God be with you as you adjust to life without her and await your reunion in heaven some day.

Carey, Steven & Gary - your Mother was such a wonderful lady and my Friend always. She was a joyful, loving, caring person who would be there for you whenever you called. I lost my husband several years ago and she was at my door right away, washing dishes, cleaning, gretting people. She never missed a beat. Oh and by the way, always giving HUGS in between. We didn't see each other a lot over the past few years, but whenever we did it was as if we picked up where we left off the time before. Good Friends are hard to find and my life was made a better one for having her as MY FRIEND. May your hearts be filled with PEACE, LOVE & HAPPINESS soon as you take One Day At A Time to say goodbye to your MOM. Love, Miss Kay
