To Diane's lovely family...
Diane was so funny, lively, kind, and a friend to all. She had the greatest smile and the brightest eyes. My deepest sympathies to you all, from a school friend of Diane's at St. Mary of Perpetual Help. Diane's vivid spirit will always be near.

To the entire family -- Please accept my deepest condolences. Diane was a great friend with a generous heart. My memories of her will live on. I only learned the news of her passing moments ago - via a phone call - from a friend living in Chicago. There are no words to describe my sorrow. Diane, simply put,was an original - a beautiful person - inside and out. She will be missed by many and remembered by everyone she knew.
Aloha, Marian (Duvnjak) Longfield

My sincere sympathy to all the Dispensa family. Diane was the best. She had the greatest way of telling a story and crackling with laughter as she told it. She loved her dancing and wanted everyone to enjoy life, enjoy the music and dance but, most of all she loved her family with all her heart. I'm so glad to have known her and will cherish the memories. Pat (up stairs) Smith, Bridgeport
