I used to ride to school in her jeep with Diane during our senior year. We were friends through Michala Streander Wadley and through Sing Out.  She was full of life and mischief.  I cannot believe she is gone.  I know her light must shine on through her children.  I am sorry she suffered with cancer.  God keep her soul.

Diane and I were dear  friends from the time she moved to Alamo until her untimely passing.  She was a beautiful person inside and out!  We shared many adventures through high school and after as well.  We shared ups and downs, good time and bad lots of tears and laughter!  Our biggest adventure was two young girls striking out on our own in an apartment...sad to say I was the wimp in that adventure but Diane's forgiving nature was ever present!  I will always regret any hurt I caused her and love her dearly!  Rick you really got a gem when you married her and I think she was very Blessed in having you and the girls as well!  You have done an amazing job with your family as she lives on in her girls and grand children!  God Bless you and Diane may she rest in peace!   She will always be remembered and missed.

Diane is truly an angel. I think of her often. I'll not forget the hours and hours of friendship we shared. She was always such a "rock" in her own softness and kindness. Her friendship has helped to strengthen me. I cherish our time together. Bless you, Diane.
