  18. My soul is broken by the loss of my lovely friend Diane. She was an honest, loving and sincere friend. She offered me her friendship without conditions. She knew how to listen to you and always had support in her words. We always enjoyed talking about any subject, we laughed a lot too. She had a beautiful and generous soul. She made me feel part of her family whom she loved with all her person, she made me feel like a sister. She was always with me in all situations, good and bad. It was a honor to have Diane in my life as a friend, confidant and co-worker. Diane, you leave a very big void in my life. You always be in my heart, prayers and thoughts.

  20. No words, no matter how tender‚ can touch what you’re feeling inside. No one can soften the sorrow deep down where your heartaches reside. Still, we are thinking about you and hoping it helps in some way simply to know that we care about you and share in your sadness today.

    Love and prayers,
    Lyle & Tina M. Wilcox [Felkel]

  21. Pat and Davida, Don and I are so sorry for your loss. Diane always had the most beautiful smile and a twinkle in her eyes. I always enjoyed seeing what she had cooked, when she put a picture on Facebook. She loved to cook for family, friends and her work family. Many times I would leave a silly remark, or ask for the recipe. I will miss being able to do that.

  22. Diane with that big smile and jolly soulful laugh! We had many talks about her Family and her kitty’s, as we are both cat lovers. Every day we would share cat videos and laugh, laugh and laugh! She was thoughtful in everydway imaginable and not a selfish bone in her body. Her presence lit up the room. There will always be an emptiness in our lives. Our J Crew Family simply thinks the World of her. I Love you Diane and until we meet again…..
