Diane was a beautiful gem!! She was so good to my kids when she was at Midkota Schools, they both loved her so much, as did Paul & I!! Super wonderful lady that will be greatly missed!! Our deepest condolences for your loss!!
We considered Diane the family historian as she was the connection between generations. We have many fine memories of our family traveling thru Europe and if it hadn’t been for her, we wouldn’t have had the opportunity. Diane loved people, was a great conversationalist and had a big heart for others. We will deeply miss her.
Diane was an awesome lady and friend to Kerwin and I. We plan on attending the funeral.
Words cannot express the loss we all feel at the passing of our beautiful sister – I pray that she was aware of her importance in all our lives and what a blessing she was to each person she came in contact with throughout her life. As many times that I told her how much I love her and admire her I don’t think it was enough – I should have done it more!

Blessed be her memory!
