Diane was a dear friend indeed. She held my hand and kept me propped up when I was going through such a loss . Her love for her family and others was so deep that it spilled from her and overflowed to those around her. I will surely miss that big personality and her unforgettable tales. Roho, Mrs Mary, Pam, Brittany,Heygan and all of her family I offer my love to you and prayers of comfort. I pray that each of you have a friend as I had with Diane while you struggle with this grief. She will forever be in my heart and truly missed. May god bless each of you.

Diane was the greatest story teller and her stories were most passionate and full of life when she was talking about her family. Her love for Roho, her mom, Pam, Hanna, Lil' Buddy, Hagen, Brittany, Ms. Judi, and her great nieces and nephews was tremendously evident in the time I was blessed to spend with her. She would make our little circle of friends feel like we knew you all personally. May her memories fill your hearts and may God hold you all up during this difficult time. I feel sure that 'D' is celebrating her life here with her Dad in heaven. Prayers for you all.
