She traveled the world with her beloved husband Jim. They visited places such as Cuba, Italy, Ireland, Russia, France, Holland and many other places around the United States and the world. She loved entertaining and hosted many parties for friends and business guests.

She was very active in the lives of her children and grandchildren, attending their school activities, baseball and softball games and graduations.

Diane was a very special person to me.
I had the privilege of meeting & getting to know The Cameron's when I started taking care of the Plants in their home in 2005. Little did I know that would result in me growing to Love both Diane & Jim.
My parents died long ago, & Diane & Jim became the ones I looked to for advice and guidance with important life decisions.
Diane would listen quietly, to me ranting and raging while I watered plants....and then , I can see her soft pretty smile, caring eyes, and hear her say " Well....this is what I would do"..... So, so many times her cool collected advice saved me...
I'll forever carry a piece of Diane in my heart....I loved her so much...I never got to tell her how to this day I treasured our time together, & she was one of the most Eloquent, beautiful women I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
The world lost a star, my deepest condolences Jim, I love you, God bless you.
Your friend Valerie

Dear Jim,
We are so sorry for your loss. There is nothing that can prepare you for the death of a loved one, especially someone so full of life as Diane. The only consolation is that she will not suffer anymore. We hold onto that thought and that makes it bearable.
