I miss hearing and seeing Dianas bright smile and laughter. She was a very dear friend.

We had so many good times - New Orleans for Rich's 50th birthday. dinners on The Hill, one particular adventure involving getting stuck in a farmer's field during a new moon, and so many times we explored around the St. Louis you were so familiar with & loved introducing to us.
Your sense of humor & spontaneity always made church, school & social activities more fun.
We were blessed by your friendship.
Rest easy.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. My twin sister and I met Diana in third grade and became very close friends and formed the square dancing group. Picture was taken this Summer at a reunion of the "square dancing girls". Frank Perry will remember us girls!

I will miss you so much Diana. Who will I go to breakfast with , concerts at Logan U. Lunch dates. You were one of the most sharing people I have known. I will always remember our meals in your kitchen and watching something that you had taped.
I am sorry that you could not keep our breakfast date last Monday. God had a special plan for you. Now you are at Peace with Rich, your husband whom you loved very much. I loved you Diana and will miss you .
Dan and Jeff and family your mother loved you very much. She always had her grand children in mind. A very special person. Blessings and condolences to all.

I always had this wonderful cousin, Diana Runge, and ran into her at Runge Cousins reunions over the years. Then in 2014 I had a real chance to get to know her. She was out here for the Runge Reunion, which was followed by a Denison, Iowa, reunion the next day. Diana and I are not from Denison, so we went on a road trip to Flagstaff and Sedona. It was a beautiful drive, and we had a great day bonding as friends. The last time I saw Diana was at the Runge Cousins reunion last year in Augusta, Missouri. I am sad to lose this wonderful person from my life, but I'm glad I got to know her. Prayers and sympathies to our family and everyone who knew her for this loss. She was a treasure.

Diana will be sorely missed. My heart is breaking at your loss and mine. We were classmates at Ferguson and just saw her smiling, happy face Oct 5 at our Reunion.
She was a treasure and the Angels are celebrating!

So very sorry to have missed the services for such a great lady. Diana's smile and concern will be missed. So very glad she was a part of our lives.

Diana will be missed by many. Her laughter was contagious and her bravery fighting thru cancer was admirable. She was one SPECIAL LADY that I will never forget her. I met her and Rich at Living Lord Lutheran Church many years ago and we both ended up at Good Shepherd. God I am sure had a hand in that decision.

I was so shocked to hear you Mother had passed away. Larry and I have so many good memories of special people like your parents. They were so welcoming when we moved to Lake Saint Louis. We enjoyed our short trips with them. I know you will have a big hole in your lives. May God's grace sustain you in the next few weeks.

I loved playing cards with Diana and the good visiting we did at church.
