Diana was a ray of sunshine. She was always so happy and made everyone around her that way. It was the simple things in life that meant the most to her. She was so proud of her family. Those she knew she treated like family. Diana was a special friend and will be missed by many. God Bless.

Gerald and Family: You are in our thoughts and prayers. We so enjoyed Diane at the Hull and Allen Auctions. At the last auction, she gave me a big hug and that smile of hers was contagious. She will be missed. Brenda and Dwayne

We are saddened to hear of your loss. It was always good to see and talk to you guys at the auctions. Diana always had a big smile on her face especially when talking to us about our upcoming baby, and how you guys had to drive 40+ miles into the hospital when you thought you were having your boys. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family in this unexpected time of loss.
