    So very saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. She always spoke her mind about something she cared about. She was a wonderful, loving, and caring lady.

    Prayers,

    I’m so sorry to hear of Diane’s passing. She was a fun person to be around. She could really make you laugh. Her and I worked together at Peebles department store. Peace and comfort to her family. She spoke highly of her son and she loved being a grandmother. Again I’m so sorry.

    I remember when Diane told me she was from Cincinnati, we were so excited because I’m from Northern Ky. Just a hop, skip away from each other. We would talk about places we went to back home, and would say how we missed them. She was as real as real could be. A beautiful and funny Lady that left you smiling. She will be missed for sure. Once you met her , you wouldn’t forget. I will miss you Diane. Rest In Peace my Friend, and let the perpetual light shine upon you. AMEN.

    Our deepest sympathy go out to Steve, Shelly and Teddy, Uncle Tim, and the entire family. Diane was such a funny, loving and wonderful woman. The definition of a cool aunt, I remember her painting my nails when I was a little girl and always being so gracious, kind and a huge personality. It doesn’t seem real and I feel like she is gone far too soon. But also Thankful she is at peace and reunited with dad, grandma and grandpa.
