For as long as I can remember, Diane has been a person I so admired and enjoyed. Her spirit, her kindness and her infectious joy were all unmatched. If ever a phrase captured someone, “a life well lived” captured Diane. Like all that knew and loved her, our time with her was far too short, but I am so grateful for every shared memory. Her example and legacy are both gifts and guiding forces for all of us lucky enough to have known her. My love and sincere sympathy to Scott, Anna and Mary.

Scott and family, So sorry to hear of your loss.

Scott - I am so sorry to hear of Diane's passing. I am praying for you and your family to feel God's comfort and love during this difficult time. May your many memories bring peace and smiles. Angie Drennan

My thoughts and prayers to Scott, Anna and Mary. Diane had the sweetest soul and a adventure for life. I'm lucky that I got to call her my best friend of 51 years.We met working our first job at St Luke's hospital when we were in highschool and we became fast friends. I always will admire her zest for life. Diane would call me when she was taking her walks regardless it being overseas or in the US and she'd tell me about the things she was doing and seeing unless she was going off grid and couldn't get phone reception and then she'd call before going off grid to say how long she'd be off and I will miss those calls dearly. We had many adventures that I will remember with love and laughter and will mourn the memories that were to come. Diane used to say to me I gotta keep doing and going until I can't do it anymore and my friend you certainly did. I know Jesus opened the door of Heaven for my dear friend and I know she will be watching over all of us. My sincere condolences to everyone who knew and loved Diane.

Sending our deepest condolences to Diane’s family. We met Diane at our children’s pre-school in Key Biscayne and remained friends until we parted ways. I will always remember her beautiful smile and generous spirit. RIP sweet Diane🙏🏼 Marcelo & Jackie Radice

Words cannot express the joy that Diane brought to not only my life, but to so many others. Diane was a gift to all who knew her. A soul who lived and loved beyond measure. I am a better person because of her and I will miss her more than I can say. She was kind, funny, adventurous, smart and always had time for anyone. I will never forget our hikes, snowshoeing, baking, dog walks, talks and everlasting friendship. Scott, Anna and Mary....may you have a sense of peace and comfort during this difficult journey forward without Diane, though she will be forever in your hearts.

Diane was an amazing friend and such a gift to all that knew her. She had such a beautiful spirit and a way of bringing joy, adventure and warmth to everyone around her. I will forever cherish our friendship. Some of my happiest memories of Diane were when we were kayaking, hiking, snorkeling, collecting driftwood and the regular updating of our beloved Hippie Shack. Those joyful moments will live on in my heart. What fun we had! I miss Diane deeply but I am immensely grateful for the time we shared and the memories I will cherish forever. Sending love to Scott, Anna and Mary. May your loving memories bring you comfort. ❤️❤️❤️
