Diane had the amazing ability to see beauty in all things in life. Anyone's life she touched and those that touched hers were truly blessed.

When we were together at St. Procopius School from 2nd to 8th grade. We exchanged valentines at young ages. Looking back, Diane, should have been "the one." She was THE most beautiful girl in our class every year. Classy girl I'll always remember. Things don't always work out according to God's plan.
Rest in Peace, Beautiful woman.

Diane was one in a million. I remember us laughing so hard after I walked directly thru the screen of her patio door. She was so gracious about my clumsiness! You will be greatly missed!
