Diane was my beloved neighbor for almost 8 years. My heart hurts very much to know she has passed. She loved her family, her garden, the beach and pool, and her dog Zeva. I looked forward to our talks and her showing me how nicely her plants were growing and all her grandkids photos. She will be missed so much.
Diane and I were neighbors. We became friends while walking early in the morning. A few years ago I invited Diane to Bible study and I was so happy when she said yes. Studying the Bible together was a very precious time. I’m so blessed to have known her. She is beautiful, caring, loving, very compassionate and loved her family dearly. She will always be my sister in Christ. With deepest sympathy.
Diane was such a wonderful and loving friend to everyone who will be deeply missed by all. So sorry for your loss. Rest In Peace my friend ❤️
Jessica & family I am so sorry to hear of Diane’s passing. I have so many memories and stories about Diane. She was a very genuine & caring person. She loved her grand kids-she always shared their accomplishments with me and was so very proud. Heaven has gained another angel. DT will not be the same without her. You are in my prayers during this difficult time. Peace be with you.
I will miss Diane so much. We were coworkers and she was a sweetheart. It is heartbreaking that she is gone.
Diane, I wish I could have known you longer. From day one at DT, you and I just immediately “clicked”. Thank you for sharing your life with me through stories and general conversations. It is hard looking at your work station and knowing you will not be there. I’m honored to have met you and I hope we can all take solace in knowing you are at peace.
My deepest sympathy and condolence to the love ones of Diane. She and I had worked closely together and she is very much missed but I know that she is a better place, free of all sufferings and pain in the company of our Lord and Maker, Jesus Christ. May you find solace that she is now free of all her sufferings!
I was so sorry to hear of Diane’s passing. She was my neighbor for over 15 years. I’ll miss seeing her and our talks about retirement. My prayers and condolences to her family and friends.
Diane was not only my co worker, but my home girl. In passing we would talk about our home town Charleston SC. I was miss her dearly. My condolences to her family
Diane will be missed as a colleague. She was a very friendly and caring person and it was a shocked to learn that she’s gone. She talked about dearly about her family, grandkids and her dog. She always listened to her audio books and can hear her enjoying and laughing whenever she wore her earphones.
Praying for your family and may you rest in peace my friend.
