I have extremely fond memory's of Diane. I know she had to have her hands full with me as one of her kindergartner's!! I remember all the love she gave me - All of us. She will be missed by many former students, Friends, Family and people who just had the chance to meet with her! Love to you and yours,

At so many teacher functions Diane would be the "Presider." She often presided over and presented a tribute for a teachers' retirement. She was so funny, she had a great sense of humor and an almost comedic timing. My favorites were when she would make a big poster with candy bars taped on, and created a funny line for each kind of candy. I will miss Diane, but I have a feeling she will find a job "presiding" over a few things in heaven.
I am so saddened to hear this news. Diane was my kindergarten teacher and was also my mentor teacher through college. She taught me so much about education and how to really reach a child. Diane helped me to become the person and reached I am today. Words simply can not express the void her passing will leave. I can still remember the day she handed down her letter people to me and all her great stories. Prayers to her family and friends during this time. Heaven gained an amazing angel
Sending all thoughts out to the family in your time of need. She was a wonderful mother to Pete.
You were one of my many blessing's, my prayer's and thought's to all the family, god bless and r.i.p., luv pat tice
