Di was such an outstanding lady who I so enjoyed getting to know when she allowed me to teach Robbie. I am so sorry that she had to leave us. Please know that our prayers are with all of the family. I wish I could be there for the service, but I have had to go out of town. Please know that I love each of you and hope that you can find peace in knowing that families can be together again.

Sadness filled my heart when I heard of Diane’s passing. Your entire family meant a lot to us. When we moved here and needed daycare for our kids, Brad and Stephanie. We were truly blessed to have your family help me raise mine. Even though the years have passed, we will always remember all of you for your compassion and care. Our thoughts are with you today.
