Dear Emery, Darlene, Ron and the rest of the family. My condolences on your loss. I have fond memories of Diana playing 45's at St. Pius X Church (Holy Redeemer Parish) over the years. Her smile was contagious; she would light up a room. May you find comfort in sharing her memories. Praying God will give you comfort, strength and peace in these difficult days.

What can be said that hasn't already. Aunt Di was a great person and wonderful aunt. I remember climbing through her closets, playing with the giant sewing machine, velvet Elvis the tinsel skirt and many lunch times spent with her. Later she was always hosting family events and In recent years it's been Christmas day visits. We will miss you but always remember those times together.

Please accept my condolences on the loss of dear Diana. I have known Diana since I was Joel's grade 1 teacher at Centennial School. It was always so nice to see her over the years and hear all the news about her and Joel. She was such a devoted, proud mom. We reconnected as she took on the Crossing Guard role for Prince Charles School. Again, showing her kindness and commitment, she ensured our students safely arrived at school each day. Our school community will miss her. Joel, I know you will continue to be mom's star and will continue to make her proud. Lori Doyle- Principal, Prince Charles School.

To what say, wow. Let's go back some 38 years ago, to the beginning, the Hilton. The other place we called home.
You were like part of the building, this beautiful person with such a hugh life , wonderful personality and infectious smile. We spent what seem to be a life time together.
We spent years raising ourself and then our children in this hugh house. We've done many many things and travellings just for laughs. We had so much fun , love and laughter together and some we still don't admit too.
Diana you will always be special to me and my kids adored you. YOU will always be remembered . When I get there ,I'm sure you will be dancing. With a smile upon your face. I never forget you.
Rest easy my beautiful friend . DANCE . DANCE ...DANCE.......our beloved Diana
