Mom, you chose me and you took care of me and your sacrifices will always be remembered. Until we meet again…fly high. I love you.
My deepest sympathy and prayers to all of Diana’s family and friends. God bless her. Remember her well from Notre Dame HS many years ago. Same graduation class of ‘64. Great sense of humor. So sad. Will miss her updates and funny comments on Facebook.; with all she had been through she never lost her sense of humor. 🙏❤️🙏
I’m still so heartbroken about the passing of my very dear friend. Sending love & prayers to the family 💔💐🙏
Diana … you brought a smile wherever you went and many laughs to those who knew you.
The world will be sadder without you.
Peace be with you.
It was such an honor to have been able to do Diana’s hair for the few short years I knew her. I loved her stories and her sharing how much love she had for her husband and family. She will be missed. Prayers to all the family and to her Precious husband, Stuart.
I’m so incredibly sad reading this. My prayers and condolences to her husband, Stuart and her family and friends. Thinking of you all during this difficult time. Through love and memories, you are immortal, Diana. You will be missed by many.
When we lose a loved one here on earth, we gain an angel in heaven that watches over us. RIP Diana you are now flying with the angels. 💕

Stuart and Family, Lynn and I are sad and sorry for your loss. Growing up in Packard I was so in love with Diana. She is at rest after her ordeal.
Blessings to the whole family. Your mom’s infectious laugh is what I fondly remember. You are all in my prayers. Love a Grist Mill friend, Kelly
RIP Diana and my deepest condolences to the family.
Very sorry to hear you have gone beautiful Diana.
I will always cherish our chat and the positive vibes you sent out to me .
My sincere condolences to the family
So sorry to hear about Diana’s passing. She loved her family to the moon and back. Diana and I go way back to Notre Dame class of “67””.and we’re in the orchestra together. We recently found each other on face book to find out we both lived very close to each other on the west coast of Florida but never got the chance to reconnect. I am so sorry that life pasted us by before we got the chance to reconnect. Diana was extremely special and loved her family and her dogs to the moon and back. Rest in piece sweet lady with your arms around your beloved son Walter.
Deepest sympathies to all of Diana’s family — she loved all of you so much. My thoughts and prayers are with you always.
Diana, rest in the love and peace of our dear Lord. We, your friends from Notre Dame ’64 (Endies), will always remember you. I have some special more recent memories — seeing you at our 50th reunion, and a fun hoagie day at Carol’s. And we all strengthened our bonds using Facebook. You were the glue!! Watch over us, dear friend. Sending love and hugs.
