My condolences to Dianne's loved ones. I knew Dianne from high school. We had biology and P.E. classes together, although I was 3 years ahead of her. She signed my senior book and left such a sweet tribute to me that years later, that year book is gone, but I still recall what she wrote. She was a sweet kid in school. Her smile could light up a room. Rest in peace, sweetie!

Ray and I knew Dianne for at least 30 years. She had a bubbly personality and always had a smile for everyone. She will be greatly missed. We are praying for peace in the hearts of her family.

So many memories of us . Diane was my 1st best friend when I moved to Port Acres in 1978. We were in & out of each other's houses all the time,weekends cruising the Drag together and hanging out at the Rec,spending the night together,making prank phone calls. Later we became sisters in law. We would play Yahtzee for hours at a time watching Dwayne & Jana play. We saw or talked to each other just about everyday. I think it was our late 20's or early 30's we drifted apart into separate lives ,didn't talk or see each other much,but when we did,it was like no time had passed!!!!!! I love you Di, and I miss you.
