Ken,
I am deeply saddened, she was a great friend. I will always remember her as the only one who said “let’s go to lunch !” when they fired me!
Always a great teammate, always a smile, always up for some fun. I won’t forget her.
I know she loved you and I am happy you two had a good many years together.
See you Saturday,
Bob & Peg

Dearest Ken, Amy, Andrew & Family,
On this “Train of Life” Passengers come and go and that is okay.
Dianne & I boarded Oct 2, 1964 . Then came Sharon, Jane and Doreen, Life long ticket holders.
We’ve ridden this train all these years. Often commented that we should have written a book.
Never bought a lottery ticket… we had and still have our own winnings.
Dianne is the first to get off the train…. but what a stop. She got off at the stop marked “Heaven.”
We had you for 54 years and that was a GREAT 54 years.
We know that you will be on that platform when we arrive awaiting to welcome us .
Sharon & Mike Bruce.
Colleen Dignam

There are so many words to describe Diane, Loving , Generous, Giving , Magical, Kind but most of all a true friend.
Her smile and kind word touched everyone’s hearts.
She brought magic to Christmas like no other person I have ever known. I will never forget those wonderful times together. The first time at her home years ago at Christmas. I sat in the middle of the room and just rotated inch my inch enjoying all her magical Christmas decorations.
Diane, I will miss you so much. For you my darling I will never give up those high heel shoes. It puts a smile on my face remembering your laughter and excitement every time you saw a new pair, which I would wear just for you. Love you my friend.
My heart goes out to you Ken and Amy. Diane definitely left a special footprint in my heart.
Lou Boccia
