I was introduced to Diana through a mutual friend, Carl Weaver. I was just diagnosed with Breast Cancer. He knew she would lift me up and guide me through the worst days of my life. She was a long distance friend. I live in Alabama. I was pampered and loved more from this perfect stranger. We talked daily. She is the most amazing friend I´ve ever had. I can´t begin to tell you how she encouraged and walked me through more than cancer. I love sweet Diana. Her daughters were her pride and joy. We spent many hours talking about our daughters. They are in my constant prayers. What a beautiful Angel their mommy is. We will see her again. Sending all my love and big hugs from Alabama. Diana was one of a kind.

Cara and Christa ~ we right now are reminiscing about your mother always so thoughtfully popping over across the street to also say hello to us, too, after visiting Emmy and Duane. She put the " happy light " on our front porch with her lovely smile and always fun and interesting conversation as we sat and talked together. We know the moon is shining ever much brighter now with HER energy up there with it- (she told us that THE most favorite aspect about her new place , after she moved from Minnesota, was that she could see the moon every night from all her windows.... she truly did love the moon!) It is with sadness that we realize the loss of Diana´s vibrant life, but also remember the JOY that she gifted in friendship.

To Diana´s girls...
I went to junior high and high school with your Mom. I saw her obituary Saturday night and was so saddened by the news. She ALWAYS had the biggest smile on her face. She was beautiful inside and out. We have lost a treasure.
