Susan and Steve, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. Some of my greatest memories are of all of us on summer vacations in Okoboji. Diana had such a great sense of humor and always knew how to have a good time. She will be truly missed.

I'm truly going to miss you Diana!! You taught me so much about collections and the thing we call "Life". You coming over every morning to chat and hearing you talk about your Grandkids was special.

I will miss you smile and hearing your laugh. I will see you again, someday!!

Steve, Susan and family: Dee and I have been friends since we were 18 at Collins Radio. Periodically we caught up on our lives thru the years. Dee was a free spirit, kind, humorous, and a wonderful lady, and she adored her family. I cannot imagine never hearing that infectious laugh again. She is the shining, twinkly star we'll see in the heavens.

My sympathies go to all of Diana's family and friends. We worked together for many years at Stamats, but had lost touch in the recent past as often happens. Once she was diagnosed, I was one of the lucky individuals she re-connected with and we were able to share great memories and some surprising laughs during a recent lunch out. Diana was special -- a unique individual who protected her soft heart and kindness with an outrageous INSERT INTO guestbook VALUES (but endearing) attitude and frank dialogue. I will miss her greatly, but take heart in the fact that she will watch over and protect us all as a true guardian angel with lots of spunk. When we face future adversity, remember that the voice in your head boldly pushing you to meet life's challenges head on will be Diana's.

I met Diana years ago when we both worked at Stamats Publishing Co. She was a "pistol" and never knew what she would think of next. Diana was always fashionable and stylish, even during casual days. I also found her to be generous and always willing to lend a hand. We'll miss Diana.

Diana was truly an original!! A heart of pure gold, covered by the strongest steel. I had worked with Diana at GE for many years and always enjoyed our times together. I will miss hearing her call out 'Hey, Janet from another planet.' Diana's earth-bound shell has worn out, but her indomitable spirit will go on forever.

So many great memories return when reading these messages of love and condolence about Diana. It's been said before: She was one of a kind, truly a force to be reckoned with, a "brassy broad" if there ever was one. She taught me so much during our time at Stamats, especially how to be fearless and funny all at once. She could be painfully honest, but her friends always knew that even the barbs were sent with love. I'm smiling as I write this, imaging Diana and her old pal Ken Sankey having a laugh together, somewhere in the Great Beyond. Diana, you touched many, many lives and will be greatly missed.

I will really miss Diana! I have never met anyone like her- she was definitely one of a kind. She was tough as nails but with a heart of gold and I learned a lot from her. My heart goes out to the family. I know she is in a better place but still wish she was here with us!

My thougts and prays are with you. I worked at GE with Diana.
Diana touched so many people, she will have a special place in our hearts.
Even for those of us who just came in contact with her,
we are happy to have met her but she left us too soon.
The short time we spent with her is something
that will be long lasting. Her stories will live on forever,
So we wipe away those tears and remember her smile, her laughter.
Diana has changed our lives forever.

Not sure where even to start. Diana and I had so many fun times together. Shopping the day after Thanksgiving. She loved it when we got to fight the crowds.Making late night road trips to a casino. Diana taking care of my two English Masitff's INSERT INTO guestbook VALUES (at the time) Drayko and Warlock. Diana going with me when I picked out my three boys, Drayko, Warlock and Lycan. All our shopping trips. Enjoying Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve with Myself, Charlie and other's. Tearing up my bathroom because nothing matched when we had finished up painting. She has been a major part of my life. Listening to her when she shared her vists from her family, showing pictures of her grand children growing up. I am sorry for your loss.. She will never be for gotten.

My heart goes out to your family and extended family of friends during this time of loss. I was fortunate to work with Diana previously and lucky to be able to still see her now and again. She was always able to make me laugh, or to see things in a different light and now her star will always shine down upon all of us. Goodbye Diana, you will truly be missed.
