  5. I am still in shock and so saddened over this news. I was probably the last “friend” that saw Diane. We were out but I have a picture of her leaving the house. She was my helper, my bartender, my friend and I am so sorry this happened. She worked for me over a decade and I could always count on her. She was a dear person to me.
    At last she is free from worry and I hope, peaceful. My heart goes out to her family and friends.

  6. We will miss Diane’s beautiful presence in our house. She was such a caring, generous, and loving person. I remember talking to her while sitting on our porch about her family and especially her grandchildren. She loved them so much and was enchanted with those grandchildren. She was always so proud to show us their pictures. She leaves a gaping hole in the lives of all who knew her. Our deepest sympathy to her family.

  8. Always in my heart , my friend. My life is enriched with the good fortune of having known you. Your open heart and arms graced my children, especially Brittany. Loved every minute of your friendship and loyalty.

  9. Diane seemed so much more lively, looked younger and seemed so happy after her knee surgery. I rejoice that she had a few months free of pain, and am distressed it couldn’t have gone on longer. She was a good friend through many years, as well as being the perfectionist, professional house-cleaner that made my several spaces so wonderfully livable.

    My thoughts go out to Michael and Timothy and their families.

    Farewell, good friend of decades. I will always miss you, for so many reasons.
