My deepest sympathy to the Reason family. Diane was a beautiful and strong person that gave herself to everyone that crossed her path. I was most fortunate to be one of those individuals who will be forever grateful for her mentoring and friendship as a young Navy Officer Wife. She was always so very kind and supportive of me. I pray for the family to treasure the memories you share during your time of sadness. May her light continue to shine in all who loved her.

I met Mrs. Reason while serving as Command Master Chief at the United States Naval Academy. I found her to be extraordinarily graceful, warm, and a true servant of God. I will continue to lift the family in prayer.

My Deepest Sympathy to Paul and the Family. I first met Dianne at Mott Elementary School in DC. She was kind, funny, and smart. I think this was 3rd grade. In junior high school, we formed a club called Wee Women and Dianne was an original member. I remember Dianne at McKinley Tech before her family moved. We were all so happy when she and Paul married.
May Dianne Rest in Peace.

Paul and family, what a sad loss for us all. Dianne was so warm, kind and caring. She generously and unfailingly gave her support, wisdom, and insight when we shared Navy life moments together. May good memories comfort all who mourn her. Our love and prayers continue for you all.

Dianne was such a kind friend. I'd known her since I was high school age. We were in a girls club together. I knew Paul also. I was so excited when I learned they were getting married. I was at the wedding. Dianne will really be missed.

My prayers are with the family of Diane Reason. She was in high school when I met her and afellow teacher in Kaoshiun Taiwan in 1958. A thoroughly lovely young woman. Years later she was kind enough to visit and let me know her plans to marry Paul. I have always held her and her mother Siddy in great esteem. My heart goes out to her loved ones who now mourn their loss.
