Diane L. Evans
Cliff, Tracy, Clint and family: I am so sorry to read of Diane's passing. Our children were in the same classes throughout the years at Linn Mar and I remember Diane's incredible smile and wonderful personality as we mingled at the functions. I can picture right now Tracy and David singing at a Wilkins performance, while Diane and I beamed. Please accept my heart felt condolences ... I know you have many many happy memories to help you through this. Sincerely, Deborah

I am so sorry for your loss. I joined Diane's high school class in my Sophmore year and she was one of many of the Sophmores who made me feel very welcomed and accepted. She was a good person and a good friend. I was most fortunate to have seen her again at our class reunion in June at Holstein.

Evans family: I am so sorry for your loss. Dad and Cliff worked together for so many years at Pepsi, and Dad still enjoys the "Pepsi breakfast" with everyone. Although I did not know Diane, having only met her on a couple of occasions, I know everyone thought very highly of her and she will be missed by all who knew her. God bless you all.

Butch & family, My thoughts and prayers go with you in this sorrowful time. Of all the great mysteries of life, perhaps Life itself is #1 and Love is #2. So as long as you have life, Diane remains in your love for her and in your memories of her. Sometimes this is the only consolation we have now, but we do put or hopes God's tender mercy. Be assured ofmy prayers, Butch. david

Dear Tracy and Family,I am so very very sorry to hear the sad news about your mother. In reading her memorial, I realized what a full life she had, and what a truly good person she was. But I knew that anyway, Tracy, because I know what a wonderful daughter she raised. I wish I could be with you now; please know that you and the children (indeed, your whole family) are in my thoughts and prayers, and in Norman's, too. I love you very much. Marjory

Tracy so sorry to hear about your loss. There is no love in this world like a mothers(we lost Peg in 2001). I hope when you start thinking of your mother in the days to come you have a great big smile on your face!

Your Diane was the nicest person to me when I was only 4 or 5 and she was my swimming instructor. We must have bonded, or maybe she just thought I could use a little extra attention, because after that summer she gifted me with a sweater for Christmas. It was such a surprise and such a very nice thing for her to do. After reading through the memorials, I see she maintained that character and personality through out her entire life. May God grant all of you His peace as you deal with your loss. Cammy (Logan) Sproul

I knew Diane when she was an Accounting major at Iowa. She was always the best student in our classes. I preferred her lecture notes over my own. She was a very nice lady. I remember the day she pledged the Alpha Chi Omega sorority. She was a happy camper. God wanted her back in His Kingdom. But her loss is enormous for all of her family and friends. My deepest sympathy to all of you.
