What a joy she was at dialysis! I had the privilege of being her nurse every other Tuesday and enjoyed our conversations...we shared many giggles! I will miss her!

Its always sad when someone we love and care about leaves this earth; but it can be devestating when it is a parent or grand mother who has always been there for us, always taking care of everything, and ensuring we were ok, and we were safe. I pray, Stephen, Stephanie, and Lexie,
that you too will find peace, comfort,happiness, and direction, as Diana did, by living her life walking in the Light of the Lord Jesus Christ.
You can take this to the bank, from an expert who has throughly researched the subject! Dedicating your life to Christ, and asking Him to show you what to do, and to give you strength to do HIS will and not yours, on a daily basis is the ONLY successfull way to find comfort,peacefullness in the midst of devestation, success, love, forgiveness, contentment and happiness; way beyond anything you could possibly experience on your own. Diana was such a selfless person. She was here for all of us luckie people who got to know her. The saving grace and comfort for me is that I'm sure when my time is up, we will see eachother again, and I will hear her say: "TOP OF THE MORNING TO YOU! GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN! Love, MaryEllen Zdrojewski

Oh my oldest and dearest friend Diana. How I will miss you! I believe we covered all the topics of the universe over thirty years of philosophical discussions. Now you know the answer to the mystery. I know you are enjoying the perfect peace of our Lord Jesus since he has called you home. I am so blessed to have shared my life with you on this earth. In all my love, Liz Derickson

My condolences to the family of my good buddy Diana. The memories I have will sustain for a long time. We had a good time in the 20 + yrs we hung out. I throughly enjoyed being friends with Diana. I literally watched her kids grow up and then her granddaughter, who was the apple of Diana's eye. My life has been enriched knowing Diana and I grieve her loss.Her sense of humor and her playfulness, which is what drew me to her, will be greatly missed. As well as her 4:00am phone calls just to chat.We did alot together, like going to Boblo Island to see the Beach Boys, that was alot of fun. Stephanie, Steve, Lexie, my heart goes out to you , as the rock that supported you guys in so many ways is no longer there. I only hope that the beautiful memories that you will share over time will sustain you during those difficult times.
