Diane was happiest among her family and friends. Her personality was loud and flamboyant, she could be a bit rough around the edges but her heart was pure gold. She never put on a front always speaking her mind, telling you how she felt regardless of the consequences.

We will forever carry our love for her in our hearts. Mom, we know you will ALWAYS be running the show.
