Monica, I am sad to hear of Diane's passing. Diane was one of my first friends I met when Ryan and I first moved to Roanoke almost 18 years ago. She was always so kind and sweet to me. She always had a smile on her face. She loved you dearly. May God give you strength and courage during this difficult time. Debi Austin

Diane will be sorely missed by those she worked with at Lewis Gale. I knew her since I was one of her supervisors. I also worked with her in the variety for departments at our group. I will miss her talks about her love of Nate and her little dog, Jax. She is at peace now with her Lord. I will always remember her bravery in her illness trying to smile at all times. My prayers are with her family at this time and in the future.
