Brian,
My heart hurts for you and your boys. I still can not comprehend your loss. Probably because I am not seeing things as a 41 year old woman. I'm looking through my eyes as a 13 year old girl running accross A1A with Dianne. Trying dodge cars as we ran from her parents hotel to the beach behind the Yankee Clipper (our weekend fun). Then the trips to Southland (the strip plaza NO MALLS BACK THEN). I remember one such trip we tried on sunglasses we wanted to buy but couldn't because we spent all of our money on doughnuts. (INSERT COP JOKE HERE). Our last time together as kids was the 8th grade trip to Disney. Years later as the new officer at Don Estridge I met you and discovered during one of our conversations that you were married to my best friend in middle school. I'm thankful that we were able to reunite and catch up on our lives as women, wives and mothers. Dianne spoke proudly her life with you and the boys. She loved you all very much! It fills my heart with joy to know she had such a fulfulling life. If you or the children need anything give me a call. Support comes in many forms don't be afraid to ask any of us in the Don Estridge family.
Many Blessings Dawn Loughnan

Dear Brian, Patrick and Phillip,
My father once gave me a book called the "Treasure Chest". I often find myself looking in the book to find words that encourage, liftup, inspire, help, educate and soothe. Everything I have read in the last few days reminds me of how Diane touched us since we have met her. She was truly a "Treasure".
With deepest sympathy, Susan Weber

Brian, Patrick and Phillip: We can not even to begin to express how deeply sorry we are for your loss. Dianne was a wonderful, caring person and she will be deeply missed. My fondest memories of her are from the many camping trips, including the one in Sebastian where she had all the boys partake in the flag cermonies , making it much more meaningful. My other memory of her is from the same camp-out, rounding up volunteers and getting us to perform the "Sitting on a Bench" routine. It was very silly and a lot of fun. We're really going to miss her - the world will not be the same without her!
