I too met Diane at the gym. She was always laughing and having a great time hanging out with her gym friends. Such a kind, sweet lady. I'm so very sorry for your loss. May God bless you and comfort you and hold you in His loving arms.

Diana will be missed a lot. She was a kind, funny and a good friend. We exercised at HYF gym and after the session we could talk for hours. Going to miss those talks with her. With loving memories, Mary Ann & Al Kuberski
