I still miss the way Diane made everyone feel so comfortable. She was sweet and very knowledgeable in some many things. I will always remember our days at State Farm. And of course, Kevin, I miss you too. Much has happened since Diane said goodbye but her bright spirit lives on forever.

I remember Diane so well and often. Such a joy to work with. Always upbeat and positive! The two of us had lots of laughs, lunches and conferences while working together for State Farm Insurance. She was so proud of her family. Husband Kevin had a great since of humor and acting ability. Wish a family member would update wife Rosemary and I on how the Casey family are doing. Thanks for this anniversary reminder. Tom at: [email protected]

Dear Kevin, Kevin Jr, Colleen, Erin,Kathleen & Grandma--
As you all know I worked closely with Diane for about a dozen years. Forgetting job titles I thought of her as my administrative assistant, sounding board and most importantly as a good friend. We shared often our families success and challenges.
I really got to know more about her SUCCESS as a spouse, parent and daughter when my wife Rosemary and I attended the weddings of you three girls. Her pride, involvement, love and caring ways were obvious. We will all miss her. Share your great memories with each other often. Tom

Dear Kevin and family,
You will always know how much we loved Diane and what a loving person she was to all of us. There was not an idea put forth that she did her best to complete, be it picnics or going downtown or cooking up something special for all. She was and is a special person for all of us to treasure in our hearts. We will miss her.

please accept our deepest condolences with Diane's passing. You all know what a wonderful gal she was. She's now with God in who's hand she will be well cared for. We all loved her deeply and always remember she'll be by your side in your needs and to help you get through this very difficult time. Remember all the laughs she created, the love she showed each of you and her "activeness".
We love you all so very much and ask God to give you the courage needed now and in the future. Her legacy is her grandchildren, through you and your wonderful gifts she provided. We love you all so very much.

Dear Uncle Kevin, Kevin, Colleen, Erin, and Kathleen. Aunt Diane's laughter and sense of humor is what will live on most in my heart. Even in this sad time, I can't think of her without smiling. Quite a few years ago when Aunt Diane and Uncle Kevin were in Vegas, my mom and dad and some of us went to visit. I will never forget my brother Rick and I hovering over Aunt Diane telling her at the poker machine telling what cards to pick. And when she would win a hand, Rick and I took credit! And when she lost, Rick and I blamed her for listening to us! Poor Aunt Diane. We drove her crazy, but laughed much with her then and many times since. How fotunate we are for the time God let us have with such a great lady!
I love you Aunt Diane!

My Beloved Uncle and Cousins,
I think Lady Di is an apt expression for her beauty in an out. Her strength, her laughter, her spirit. She lives!!!!
We love her very much, know we have her to pray to (we'll keep bugging her) and know our prayers are with each of you at this time. I love you all. May God bring you peace and strength now and forever.

Kevin, Erin, Colleen and Kathleen,
Even though I already put an entry in, I wanted to write a special one for the four of you...
The one thing that I'll remember about your mom is how she could crack a joke over just about anything and how she could have you almost rolling on the floor laughing hysterically.
May God grant you the strength to get through this very difficult time. I love you all very much and I hope to see you soon.

Dear Uncle Kevin and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of Aunt Diane. She was one very special lady. I will always treasure the time she spent with me when I was out there last May. I'm also very sorry I can't be there in your time of need, but I do plan on coming out there in the summer (although I can't make a commitment). Please know that I do wish I could be there and that I loved her very, very much. I love all of you very much also.

When I think of Aunt Diane,I think of her dry humor; the way she always made me smile. She was a great lady and I hope we all celebrate the days we had with her.

Diane is a bright star and has gone to cast her brillant light upon the world. We may view her passing from these shores as sad but her beauty and love lingers. She is making the journey we all must make. And as we remember her and deal with the void her last journey left in our lives, God is on the other side hugging her gently by his side. She is just as strong and beautiful as ever. We will see her again. She is LADY DI. Love you all.

Kevin,
Please accept my deepest sympathies on the passing of your lovely wife. I was just talking to my father about how your family and ours use to get together in Green Bay and how happy all of us were when you were transfered back to Chicago and we were able to see you guys again. Please pass my condolences on to your entire family.
Your Buddy for Life,

Dear Kevin and Family,
My deepest sympathies to you at this time. My prayers are with you. I hope the sentiment in this poem will help comfort you at this time. Love, Caroline
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there - I did not die.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there - I did not die.
