I can't express the joy I felt when I scanned through the masses and spotted the beautiful Diane standing out in the crowd...you and Dorrie have been a highlight of my spring bike season. It just isn't the same without you. My prayers are with your loved ones and all of the many hearts who have been broken with your passing.

Diane was a perfect angel from the beginning.  She was always so gracious, loving and fun.  She always spoke so highly of all her children and loved them all so very much which is what we both connected to.  She was always so positive and loved life.  
She will truly be missed by so many.  Rest in peace my friend!!  Until we meet again....David and Julie Swenson

I will surely miss my beloved niece.  May the angels enjoy her now.

We started out as sister in laws and became friends..I was so glad when Mike came into her and Zacharey's life, I know how deeply she loved him.  I wish that over the years we had seen more of each other.  Love you Red....

Diane was one of the first friends I made when I moved here to Arizona. She always had a smile on her face and was so caring and genuine! She was beautiful inside and out. I always had so much fun with her, Mike, Mark and Dorrie. I will miss her greatly.

What a beautiful, beautiful person Diane was and still is.  We knew her through her folks, Art and Judy.  Art's eyes would light up with just the mention of his beautiful daughter Diane.  How he loved her.  Thanks for the beautiful memory photos, we so enjoyed them.   Our love to Judy and all the family.   Pat and Nolan Gibson

Compared to time we only met for a brief moment in 2009, but you made an impression on me that lasted. Such a fun spirit.

I am sure you are loving being back with your dad at this moment in Heaven. God Bless Diane and her family.

Diane would have been easy to envy...until you realized how kind and sweet she was.  I always envied her hair.  She had the most beautiful hair.  Then one day, she took me by the hand and half a can of hairspray later, I had the best hair day of my life.  I was 4 inches taller with a hair-band worthy 'do.  That was just the way she was.  She saw the beauty in everyone and she was always willing to share whatever she had.  I can't count how many times I admired something of hers and she would say, "just take it!"  Beautiful, giving and loving.  It's a travesty that she's gone....too soon.  I'll miss her beautiful smile and spirit.  God speed, my friend.

From the moment I met Diane, we just connected and trusted each other. I nicknamed her Strawberry Tart on the first day we met because of her gorgeous red hair and incredible beauty, wit & sass.
She will forever be in my heart and I will miss her terribly. She was my confidant, trusted friend and shoulder to lean on.
People like Diane that come into our lives are few and far between.
May God create an angel in her likeness so that others can share in such splendid friendship & love.

I only ever had good times with Di, Mike, Dorrie and Mark. I don't remember gorgeous Di ever saying a bad thing about anyone, she was very focused on the good in people and in life, despite some tough times. What a lady, sadly missed.

 Diane was beautiful inside and out. Terry and I both really liked her alot.I did  not know Diane for a very long time, However, we became friends and Bling (Rhinestone) buddies, we cut up t-shirts together at my house.Diane always said "dang it"  and I find myself using that all the time. She meant so much to me and also taught me her lipstick tricks. She will always have a very special place in my heart. Terry and I  will miss her dearly and never forget how she touched our hearts. Rest in peace my friend...Love, Chana and Terry

From the moment I met Diane, we hit it off.  Our love of life, believing in people, motorcycles (and I mean driving them, not just riding), both of us had boys named Zach, and we could always compare stories, as the boys were so much alike.  Then there was always "the shoes"-we would try to explain the purchase to each other as "it was such a great deal I had to get it"-which while our credit cards shook with fear, we were proud as ever of our new possession of clothing or shoes.  Diane's smile would light up a room.  She always had a kind word to say, right till the end, through all the pain she was going through she still thought of me, and would text "love you too sweetheart" - Many people are beautiful, but Diane was beautiful inside and out.  God has brought her home, Diane hurts no more.  Heaven is a much luckier place with such a beautiful angel.  Rest now our sweet Diane, may you hurt no more, and may we meet again in the heavens above.  I will miss you and you will remain in my heart forever~

I met Diane at work, and the first thing she said was, I heard good things about you and I think were going to get along well, I said how good and she said "your a shoe girl and gave me that beautiful big smile that could make any one smile even on their bad times.. Diane and I always talked about shoes and thrift stores, until one day came by that I started talking to her about God, and his wonders and Diane seemed to be more and more interested in knowing about God. When Diane found out about her cancer she asked me to hug and to pray for her because she was scare to leave her babies behind and I said you won't they not only got their dad, but they got your moms and friends if it is Gods will to take you home with him, and we must pray and ask Him, and then she ask me "why me Delma why"? I said I don't have the answer, but when your alone some where out there ask God "Why you" and she did, one day she was driving her blue car with roof down and she screamed out loud "Why Me" and she told me she felt so good afterwards, but only Diane and God know the answer "Why her" because after that she accepted and fought as much as she could through out her chemo, until it was time for her to go Home with God and his angels. I know Diane loved the bling blings anything shiny with lots of sparkle, now she is closer to the most beautiful shiny stars and each night I will look up the sky and say good night my shoe girl.. good night.

She was my best friend ever, and I will be so lost without her.  We became fast friends, but as time and conversations came about, we were always finding that we had yet one more thing in common (of course the favorite being our love of shoes lol). The more we were together, the more we wanted to be together, which all of our other friends quickly found out!   Virtually inseperable, we became committed friends.  Even if we had a spat or two, deep down inside we always knew we'd get through it.
I want to thank her husband and our dear friend Mike, her moms Rosemary & Judy, and her kids Zack, Jordan, Sierra and Tim for sharing her with me, for....  "we were meant to be"  :o)
