I was deeply saddened to hear of Diane's passing. I had many friends, acquaintances and people who influenced me growing up, but I only had one "second mom." She was the most loving, kind woman and I will continue to hold a special place for her in my heart. Werner, Brian and David - you were blessed. I pray for your comfort and strength during this difficult time.

Words cannot express the sorrow I feel right now. Diane always opened her heart and home to those who needed it without any hesitation. Her dignity and grace throughout her illness inspired us all.
