Mike and I are so sorry to hear this sad news about Diana. We were so close to the entire family and think the world will never be the same. We were neighbors of theirs back in the Ol' South Side days!!! (Insert Laughter) There was never a more wonderful family than hers. Our families actually met back in the Zeller days.
When Mike and I were separated and I lived in Jacksonville, Fl they were my lifeline. Now we are back together basking in the light of the Lord. How time has flown by!
I offer comfort to the family by quoting Exodus 7 Verse 9. Page 712, "For they who go to be with me if you be good you may too"
Rise in peace knowing that they will always be remain in our hearts and minds.
We remember Uncle Harvey, Uncle Jack, Uncle Herb, Uncle Rolland, Uncle Mickey, Aunt Vicky, Aunt Lorraine, Aunt Corrine, Aunt Esther, Aunt Emily, and Aunt Lucy.
We also think of brothers Jim, Bob, Rick. Mike, Paul, Steve, Robert, Gill, Stephen, Ron and Steve along with the sisters, Barb, Gail, Sue, Kathy, Jean, Wanda and Leona.
Be strong at this difficult and please remember we are here for you. We will pray for you asking for comfort at this difficult time. Please call us if there is anything we can do, after, we are the Noels!!!
As I sat this morning looking out the window I saw a little butterfly and how fleeting life is. We sang, we laughed, we cried, we walked, we talked, we ran, we stumbled, we fell and we always got up. We were inseparable friends who had only each other. When I was in Jacksonville, FL you were my lifeline to back home. You were my only contact to keep abreast of what was happening with my dear husband Mike. Flowers blossom, trees sprout, roses bloom as did our wonderful friendship. We shared happiness, sorrow, glee, disappointment, anger, joy, love and hate. The passage of time does not erase the vacancy in my heart. Time heals but in a lifetime I will never get over losing you, our friendship and all the other things we shared. I remember talking about our old friends from Manual High School and how we would giggle and laugh. Laughter, love and memories are what held us together and keeps us going. Bless you, dear friend and soul mate. Mike and Sue Noel, Peoria, Il

Diana was a sweetheart. Always had a smile on her face, and in her heart. A great friend and coworker, and she will be greatly missed by all. My deepest condolences to the family.
