so sorry to hear about Diana's death. I had the pleasure of working with her for many years, she was an awesome nurse and person and will be missed. I know she is an angel on her family's shoulders, prayers to family and friends.

Diana, 
         Thank you for your kindness and gentle ways. 
You brought more happiness and hope to me as my nurse. You always had a smile on your face and a bright light in your eyes. You knew how to put people at ease at the most difficult times. 
         You knew the true meaning of this life, full of love and compassion with always a ear to listen. Thank you for your support and love. I am sure Dr. Berry will be missing you by her side. God Bless

I just found out this terribly sad news.  I am so sorry for the family's loss.  Diana was one of the best nurses that I ever had the pleasure of dealing with, and I will miss her deeply.  RIP Ms Diana - until we meet again

I can't believe this! You were just at my house recently consoling me with Brian having cancer. You brought food over!  Bless your family during this difficult time! I can't believe you passed the day after Brian!

Diana I think of you often and the loving prankster you where, RIP my friend.Brenda Butler Casper wy

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.
Mary Elizabeth Frye
I Did Not Die.

Diana you were "one of a kind". Loved you as a friend and will miss seeing and talking with you .

Thank you Diana for being a great loving and compassionate person!  You are the ultimate example of what a nurse should be to her patients and others.  Thank you for your warm, loving and caring nature.

I offer my thoughts and prayers to the Ellis and Williams family...

Diana's big personality matched her big heart. Wishing comforting thoughts and peace to her family and to all she touched with her kindness.

The best nurse! She went out of her way to help patients. My patients loved her cheeriness and her common sense approach. For me she was a dear friend that I knew for about 20 years. I will always carry a special place in my heart for her. Dr. B.

My thoughts & prayers go out to the Ellis Family. I only knew Diana for a short time but she had a huge heart & was always making us laugh. She will be missed tremendously.

My Sweet Nurse Diana:

You saved me in every way possible with your kindness, love, and compassion. I will live my remaining life with love in my heart for you! I am certain many will miss you immensely!

To the family of Dianna, my condolences to you and yours.  She was a firecracker who always lit up the meetings at work.  She will be missed very much and not forgotten.  Sending prayers to the family.

Diana will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers to the family.

Condolences to the family, Diana was a caring and tough nurse she will be missed!

I've known Diana for 10 years. Just the most wonderful person one could ever imagine. She epitomized what it means to be a professional nurse and she loved her family. This is simply shocking. She's a loss to so many people.

Gary and the Ellis Family,  you have my deepest condolences.  I've only known Diana since February. On my few encounters with her, I  always left feeling uplifted. She had the spirit of an angle. She was truly a blessing to anyone who encountered her.  She will truly be missed.

Dear Gary and Family.  You have my deepest sympathy.  Our friendship goes back many years.  She was a great lady and a great friend and I have many wonderful memories.  Rest in peace Diana.

We met looking for a place to store our bike when we flew to MN. You & Gary opened your home to us & put us to bed, waking us with coffee. Lots of good bike riding, meals, holiday celebrations since those times through the years.  Love you. You'll be missed.
