To Diane’s Family, I am so saddened by the death of Diane. She loved her family very much and oh how, she loved her grandchildren. I know you all will miss her terribly. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Every time we met, we would talk and laugh and catch up on things. Dear Friend, May you Rest in Peace! I will miss you!
Ray and Family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I saw Diane not long ago at CVS and talked with her. She was always a pleasure to see at the bank. All of you will be in prayers.
Ray, Tracy and Mark,
I hope you know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Diane was a very special lady and she will be missed by her many friends. I have a lot of good memories of talking to her at Carpet Liquidators. She could always make me laugh and had more energy than anyone I knew. She will be greatly missed.
So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Simmons family!
