I am not even sure what to say other than I am so very sorry for your loss. I wish that the past few years had not been the way they were for Dianna. Life is full of challenges and I wish hers were not as large as they were. . .her shoulders were not big enough to hold her past. Dave you were an amazing husband with 3 three amazing girls. Dianna had an amazing support team within her family and I hope you all see that.
I am sorry and if there is anything I can do please call.

My dearest Michelle and family,
My sincerest condolences to all of you. I did not have the pleasure to know Diana personally, however, I have known Michelle for years. Michelle, you always spoke so highly and beautifully about your mother and your family. Although there is no word that could heal your sorrows, remember, she is now with The Lord. May The Lord repose her soul and bring comfort to all of you.
Please, do not hesitate to contact me should you need anything!
With love and respect,

To the Meads family, my thoughts and prayers go out to you at this very hard time. Losing a parent isn’t easy to deal with, especiallly when it is tragic. Always remember your Mom is with you she will always be with you! Even though you can not see her or feel her, she is with you. Remember to cherish all your memories and keep her alive that way. I will always remember your Moms smiling face at Figure Skating and at Barths cleaners. She was a beautiful person. I am thinking of you all at this very hard time. Take care Julie

I too worked with Diana for many years at Barth’s as a teenager. Her smile was infectious and her kindness was incomparable. I know from our last written communication, she could not express enough how proud she was of her family and was anxiously awaiting the birth of her first grandchild.
May warm memories fill your hearts now and always. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family and I offer my most sincere condolences .

Diana, such a sweet and caring lady, very involved in the community.
We knew each other as neighbours, as well as have girls with similar ages. Diana was very dedicated when she joined an organization and spent a very busy year as president of the horticultural society in our town. I had a chance to chat one day at her crossing guard position where we caught up on family and her difficult health. She was so proud of family and your deepest loving support. May you all in time find comfort in wonderful memories of a beautiful wife, mother and grandmother.
David & Kim Montgomery
Words can not express the sadness we send to your family! A sweet loving person that we will always remember and think about!

It is so difficult to find the right words. I will always remember Diana as a busy lady who always had a smile for those she knew. Know that the other side brings perfect happiness and I hope that there is peace in that. Thinking of you all…
Mary Feeley
Im so sorry for your loss, I remember Diana from while I was growing up, I always loved knocking on her door because she was so welcoming. She always encouraged me to help her plant flowers and would bring me out popsicles or icecream in the hot weather. Her nextdoor neighbour was a close childhood friend to me and we both loved Diana, every Winter we would shovel her driveway and she was always so thankful for our help. In the Summer time Diana allowed me and Brad to swim in her pool whenever we pleased, she would always come outside and talk to us as well as offer us drinks or something to eat. I did a lot of door to door canvessing asking for donations and wat not for different things, I remember Diana and her husband were both so generous always. As I got older I moved off of Morgandale but started working at A&W, Diana would sometimes come in with her husband to eat and I was always so happy to see her. We would chat about old times and she would always ask me how things were. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for Diana and I wish I could of let her know the impact she made on my childhood. I will defintaley keep her, her family, and friends in my prayers. R.I.P. kind lady <3

Diana was a neighbour who was very friendly and kind–especially to my daughter Mary. Mary loved to go over and spend time with her gardening, etc. Her daughter Michelle babysat for us. I recently saw her working as a school crossing guard and we had a nice conversation catching up on our families, etc. She was very proud of her family and grandchildren. Im so sorry and my condolences go out to her husband and children and family. She was a beautiful person inside and out.
