Diane was such a dear....always with a smile, kind words, and concern for all. Although she had been in poor health for years, she kept up with friends and joined us for lunches and outtings, if at all possible. She will be missed by her friends and family, a real sweetheart....... Marion Knighton Whiteman
Diane was sweet, gentle, beautiful, and had burdens in life that would have brought anyone else to their knees long ago. I admired how she was always game to go where we went (including the hot tub at Lake Chelan), even with her limitations due to health issues. I'm not so sure I would have been able to do that! I'll miss her smiling face!!
Diane is my “best friend” since meeting at Mt. View Elementary in the 3rd grade.
Soft spoken, gentle, compassionate with a good heart for all. Her life on this side was a struggle that she faced with courage that we aspire to equal. Enjoy your peaceful rest, Diane.
Jud - my dear, dear friend.....we are all feeling your pain!! She was more dear to us than I think we even knew!! I feel (inevitably), as each of us in our amazing little group of "Golden Girls" passes, we will feel this same sense of profound loss!! Rest in glorious peace sweet Diane! We WILL meet again! xoxo
