Hello, I just found out Diane passed away and I extend my condolences. I lived across the street from Diane from Kindergarten to 7th grade and we went to OLCHS together. I can still remember us as kids. Blessings to you all as you hold her in your heart.

Dear Ulrich and Ketchum Families,
I'm so sorry on the passing of Diane. Sorrier still that we lost contact. Yet I will NEVER forget the wonderful times we had in High School and after. She was one of the kindest people I have ever known and a special friend always. My heartfelt condolences on your loss and may God Bless.

Having worked with Diane for 7 of those 30 years at MidAmerica, I can tell you she was the one person that was always available and easy to approach. She did so much for everyone there and was never frazzled. She was a very kind woman with a big smile, a wonderful attitude and a great sense of humor. I will truly miss her, and I hope the memories you have of her will help you through this difficult time.
