I am shocked and so sad to discover Diane has passed away. Diane and I worked together at AT&T, but we were more than coworkers. She was such a great person. Funny, generous and wise. We had such wonderful times. So many fun lunches. We kept in touch, but obviously it had been awhile since we last spoke. My sincere, belated condolences to her family. She was very much about family and so proud of her two nieces. I will forever hold a place in my heart for my dear friend.

I only knew Diane for a few short months as I helped her sell her home in Somerset NJ so that she could move back home. What I discovered with Diane is that she was a wonderful, kind hearted woman. We had some great laughs together and I always enjoyed chatting with her about the sale or pretty much anything else we could think of. She has left us too soon and will be missed very much. My condolences to the family. My thoughts are with you all.

Aunt Diane will forever be remembered by her infectious laughter, kind spirt, and selfless generosity. She could find the humor in a tough moment, she greeted everyone with a smile and an"Hi-ya kid-o," and put everything aside to be with her family when they needed her most.
Diane has left us all too soon, long before anyone could give an once of care that she so selfless gave. However, I don't think she would have wanted it any other way. Thank you for being an Angel on Earth... I know you're one in Heaven! Love, Stephanie

My Aunt Diane has left us too soon but her spirit will always be with me. I always looked forward to a special time in my life where we would all come together for our family Sunday dinners - great times I will always cherish. We would gather around the table, reminisce and my aunt always had funny memories to share which often resulted with us crying with laughter. Those memories among many others make my heart smile and will remain with me forever. To my Aunt Diane, my godmother, I love you & miss you. Thank you for always be there for me and taking care of our family. Thank you for making me laugh during my down times and showing me its ok to not take myself to seriously. You are an angel in heaven now, Rest In Peace. Xoxo

Zia Concetta, Joanne, Bill, Anita and Steve, it's with very heavy hearts that we learned of Diane's passing. We'll never forget her sense of humour and her hospitality each time we were together. We take comfort in knowing she's now reunited with Uncle Jack. We love you all and are thinking of you constantly at this difficult time.
