Address: Ottawa, ON

Dear Brian and Alex:  Paul and I just found out about Diane’s passing. We are so sorry for your loss.  You both are in our thoughts and prayers.  ❤️❤️🙏🙏

Diane, fini pour toi les tatoos, la raideur et la froideur. Maintenant tu peux marcher, danser nager comme tu aimais le faire. T'avoir à mes côtés as fait de moi une meilleur personne. Être avec toi était si facile si rafraichissant. Tu m'as montré à être positive. Avec la perte d'une amie comme toi, ce sera difficile mais j'y arriverai.
Adieu mon amie

" Absent from the body is to be present with the Lord ".
No more pain or suffering, no sorrow, no crying. This is the promise for all believers. We met again after 35 yrs so God could reveal Himself to you. Can't think of any other reason than this.
My deepest condolences to Mme Duchesne, Alex and Brian. 
Oh yes, that smile. There's something special in that smile !
God Bless you all

When someone you love passes you never get over it.  You just slowly get through each day, but you always keep them tucked away in your heart so they are with you forever.

Gone too soon. I'm so sorry to hear of Diane's passing.  The photo that you've chosen represents this lovely lady very well. Condolences to Brian and Eric. I'll be thinking of you, Diane. xo

Diane had the spirit and courage to continually fight for approval of testing, treatment and aftercare in Canada for CCSVI. She attended various trips to Parliament either at rallies or in the Gallery of the House of Commons to ensure that our voice was heard.
She had an infectious laugh and a love for life and her animals.  High spirited and determined, she was a beautiful woman.  
My heart goes out to Brian, Alex and her Mom and all those who cherished her.

So sorry to hear about Diane's passing, my heart goes out to her family.

Sincere sympathy to Diane's family.  

We will miss her. she was a kind, loving person and a fighter for everyone with MS.

Diane we will always be remembered of her great smile, to her family I send my prayers and condolences.

Diane will be deeply missed. Her joy in life brought happiness to all who knew her.

I never met Diane in person but her presence was known well in the MS community. My heart goes out to those that were left behind. RIP.

Sometimes you may find it easier to block out memories. Sometimes you will find you can't remember enough.  The best thing is that Diane will be remembered by many who will always be glad to share their memories with you.
Be kind to yourselves, Brian and Alex.

She has left a hole in my heart.

You will be missed. I will always remember your laughter. I have very good memories of our time in school. I thank Jacquie for hosting a great get together back on Diane's birthday 3 years ago. We had a blast. It was great meeting Brian and as an MS patient myself I truly feel torn to hear of early passing. Rest in peace lovely one

I am deeply saddened by the news of Diane's passing. My heart felt condolences to you and your family.We lost a great friend, but the universe received a new beautiful star.

I will always remember her great smile and laugh!  She was a great wife, sister, mother and daughter.  Rest in peace Diane.

Seeing this obituary makes this so real. We had good times growing up, Cyrvill Rd, Manor Park, Alfred & Plantagenet. In the last few years when we reconnected. I enjoyed and will miss our drives out to Alfred to visit the matantes. You were such a beautiful person inside and out, always positive no matter what. You will be missed by all who knew you. 
Tante Therese I cannot imagine the heartache you are facing. Prenez confort que Carole n'est plus seule, sa grande soeur es avec elle.
Merci d'avoir partager de beau souvenir avec les photos.

Lise
