Your loving smile and deep concern for those around you will be missed by all. You were always compassionate and understanding. I hope you make your wonderful carrot cake for everyone in heaven. The obvious reason is because your cake was always heavenly :- I, along with many others, will miss your radiant smile and compassion for others. God bless!

To My son John and Racheal, Rhonda, Alexander, Isabella, Samantha, Billy, Lorri, and Krysta:
August 19, 2014 – the day you left us, was a Good and Sad Day!
For You it was a blessing as you had suffered for many years while your health continued to decline.
For Bob and I, it was a Sad Day. You were very brave to continue your treatments and you never stopped taking care of your family right to the end. You loved every one of us for what we were, and you never failed to mentor each of us with your thoughts, past experiences and honest opinions.
Your Faith was special. You lived by your American Indian spiritual ways, as well as your Catholic training. At the end I know you were ready to meet your Maker and find eternal peace.
We love and miss you; however we know you are right where you wanted to be.
Love Always,
Mom and Bob

Diane, you will be missed by all who knew and loved you. My family and I loved your cooking, now we have no one who can make Tomato Sauce like you and Grandma. I am a better person for having you in my life. I know you will be watching over all of us.

It’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watching us all with the
Eye of the tiger
Diane got the biggest laugh at Bobby, Diana, and I after taking us to see Rocky III in 1982 when we got back from Italy. We sang the chorus in the car over and over… She would remind me every time I talked to her about it.
I can’t see a Sly movie or hear that song without thinking of Diane and her laughing and I can’t help but laugh and smile.
That is how I will always remember Diane. Caring, loving, funny as hell, loved her family, and friends with an open heart and to the fullest!! She will be greatly missed, but she left behind many family and friends that love her.
