Diane was an excellent neighbor and treasured friend. I am going to miss her dearly. May God bless her family during this difficult time.
I didn’t get to know cousin Diane very well until these later years when our parents faced challenges. I then witnessed her loving concern and greatly appreciated her kind nature. I wish I had gotten to know her better. Love and hugs to all of her family in honor of a lovely lady.
I had to pleasure of working closely with Diane at Kodak. I always loved her sweet nature and patient kindness. She was very supportive and encouraging in all things.
Diane was such a sweet person, she will be greatly missed. It was a pleasure having her as a cousin. All my best to her family.
I had the privilege of not only working with Diane but also sharing a friendship. She was so enjoyable to be around, and I admired how bravely she faced her illness. I will remember her most for our lunches at Lake Elmo Inn that would run for hours and hours as we spoke mostly about God, our children, and the interesting stories of our past working years. She was so proud of her two children and really appreciated how much they were there for her. The world lost an incredible lady and I will really miss her.
I’ve known Diane since I was a teenager. I used to look up to her, as she was always so beautiful – on the inside as well as the outside. I have a lot of special memories of fun things she, my Mom, Jason, Kristin, & I did & I will always cherish them. I am so sad & will miss her very much.
I remember Diane as a wonderful mother and care giver. She came down to Lake Okoboji with her mother and Marcia in 2005 to make a “family connection.” Later that year Krissy came from Los Angeles, Diane and my Aunt Alice came for my mother’s memorial service in Estherville, Iowa. Diane will be remembered for her kindness and love of family.
My deepest sympathies to cousin Diane’s family. I have fond memories of her as a young girl and woman. She always had a sparkle in her eyes and a quick smile.
