Just hearing that Diane has passed. I knew her from ballooning back in the '80s, and she was one of the reasons the balloon club was so fun. I'm glad we got to reconnect a few years back. Soft landings, Diane!

So sorry to hear this news, my friend of many years. Only you and I know the secrets we shared. And the laughter. And Sibleys chocolate covered raisins. See you again some day - "Tomorrow". I know you are no longer suffering, and that is a good thing. You are sadly missed, hibbityJibbity and all.
Fondly,"Bean".

Dearest Diane
Just wanted to share a few moments of your life with your family and friends. After 40 plus years of friendship is difficult to talk about just a few memories.
I remember your reluctance to join tap dancing class. That first year was difficult for you. Often our tap teacher Erika would say "Diane there is no crying in tap class" as you struggled to learn the steps. Many years later you were overjoyed when we made it to Level 3 tap. So many days spent in your kitchen learning new dance routines and so many laughs and good times along the way.
How you loved your doggies. In the last weeks before you went to the hospital, you would look at Rainbow and smile and say "I just love my Rainbow isn't she just so cute and funny." I remember the sad last day of Storm's life how you so bravely made the best decision to end her suffering but not without some good times feeding her kongs filled with whipped cream. Diane, you were always trying to make a happy memory even when things were difficult.
Perhaps the memories that I will always cherish the most are the times I spent with you these past 8 months of your life, as you so bravely fought "the bad cancer cells".I marveled at your going to every appointment with a brave and smiling face greeting everyone along the was with a cheerful "Good Morning" You brought joy and laughter to others in their "battles" and lifted the spirits of the medical staff. You even assured that in your final days the staff in radiation lab had cookies taken to them and were upset that I could not find the exact "meatball cookies" you promised.
No matter how you were feeling you were always dressed in colorful outfits with matching jewelry. Even when it appeared the disease was winning, you would be sitting at your kitchen table with your oxygen, curling and styling your hair and applying your makeup always with a cheerful "Hi Susie" I learned so much from you on this journey, about bravery and the strength of a beautiful woman fighting to keep her dignity, humor, joy of life and love of others always trying to make their days a little brighter.
Diane, Your whole life was a rehearsal for your tap dancing performance with the angels in heaven.
Thank you for all you taught me. I will miss you my dear friend.
Susie

Diane,
We have so many wonderful memories of you which we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Who could forget all the times you traveled to Delaware and Pennsylvania to be with us for the "cookie parties". We always had so many laughs while we were preparing for the party as well as during the party. You always made sure that when the guests arrived you organized their "cookies" (and sometimes beer). Who could forget how you talked about the sausage balls every time you were there.
And of course when you came to visit we were so busy enjoying the sites nearby. Like the time we took a tour of "PhillY" on the horse and buggy, the trip on the ferry from Delaware to NJ, visiting the "jail" in Philly, Christmas lights, the "free" tour at Herrs potato chip factory and the countless trips to New York City.
And most recently, I will never forget going to see Dancing With The Stars Derek Hough in April with you and my sister. Although your health was failing, you never let it stop you from creating more memories and being so excited to be at that show.
And of course, we have countless memories of camping trips and parties at my sisters house.
You have been such a dear friend to my sister Sue and shared your love with all of our family and friends which I am so grateful.
Rarely in life do you have the opportunity to have someone like you touch our lives as you have.
We have comfort now knowing that you are at peace.
You are missed dearly and will remain in our hearts and memories forever.

Oh Dear Diane, you are gone very much too soon. Don and I and all the family will miss you with your bright smile, sarcastic wit, eagerness to get right into the middle of it all. Sue and I went to a movie the other day and We both thought that you were sitting there with us. Whenever I think of you now, I wonder where you are vacationing and what new sites you're seeing. We were friends for a mighty long time and had several people in our groups. Some came and left and some stayed on as long as they could. I think we saw every super hero movie that there was, some opera, some animal movies so that we could all cry and clean out our tears, shows and musicals. We traveled to Tennessee and went to Dollywood and saw pretty country even though if left to our own devices, you and I would have always gotten lost. We did cruises, and planes and trains, and visited NYC, the Caribbean,Delaware and Pennsylvania, Camping with and without heat in Spring and Winter in the wilds of Alleghany even though you always tried to bring your curlers and your make up mirror to cabins in the woods. We lived together for a year and you and Kate had a special relationship because of your many gifts and her because of her fascination with you. We traveled to festivals, big and small and craft sales and food trips and just around the countryside and got lost more times than once always looking for fun places to stop and nice places to eat and drink. The plan was that now that I retired, Sue, you and I would spend the next ten years having lots and lots of fun and adventures before we were too old to drive. So old friend, who I would never ask to continuing her suffering, I'm glad that you are finally home with God and your Mom and that all your aches and pains and age have faded away and are no more. Love you dearly and looking forward to seeing you again. Eloise

Diane was probably the most perfect neighbor. My friend, Nancy, lived next door at 10 Meadowbrook, so I knew Diane quite well. Nancy & Diane were good friends with the gentle rivalry that friends have; from seeing who could grow the first tomato each spring, to who could find the best Christmas gift for the other. When Diane realized just how very Irish Nancy was, she presented her with a framed picture of a quaint Irish cottage which Nancy dearly treasured. When Diane's garage began slipping off its foundation, Nancy gave Diane a key to her back shed so that Diane could store heavy items there. Each Christmas season Diane would first put wreaths on her windows & then painstakingly wind lights around the branches of her apple trees. At night the effect was magical & we would gaze with wonder at the little yellow house so transformed into the Christmas scene. There's a lot more to say, but most importantly, go with God, Diane. I am sure the angels have you and are as delighted & honored to know you as we were. God Bless.
Written for my friend, Nancy Kent.

I was so sorry to hear of Diane's death recently. I knew Diane through my volunteering at Oasis, where she took exercise classes and other classes. Diane had such a vitality and joy in life and she bounded into Oasis and brought light and life and joy with her. Her smile and her heart brought smiles to all of us. She will be missed greatly.

I am very sad to know that my former co-worker and friend is gone too soon from this earth. We worked together for 17 years and since retirement, have not seen each other; but you, Diane, will always be in my heart and in my memories. You are a real angel now! Deservedly so. May God Bless family and other dear friends with comfort. Pet a dog and think of our friend, Diane.

Being a former teacher, I remember having many chats with Diane about our profession. She was a very happy, energetic, and loving person. She will be in my prayers.
