My sister Diane and her husband Mark raised three wonderful people of whom she was extremely proud. She adored her beautiful grandchildren and I loved receiving photos and videos of their accomplishments. She was kind and compassionate and I will miss her offbeat sense of humor. Rest in peace sister💕

Your greatest accomplishment was your beautiful children. Your pride & joy was your grandchildren. The love for your husband was always apparent. Your kindness and compassion for others was your greatest trait. I will miss our talks, your humor and the crazy little messages you sent me almost daily. Rest in eternal peace, little sister. 💔

I am saddened. I haven’t seen her since we ran into each other many years ago but have always remembered Di fondly. I know Miss Sue was waiting for her with open arms. I am sorry for your loss, Dwyer family ❤️

Diane I will never forget all the ways you’ve helped me in my hard times and will always be grateful. You were such a loving, caring and giving person to everyone. You had the biggest heart of anyone I know and appreciate you always having your “little sister’s back”. One of our last texts was saying “I love you” to each other and I will cherish it forever. I love you and will always miss you. RIP Bird ❤️

Harry, Mike and I send our condolences on the loss of Di, an incredible person. She really was so giving. Mike, especially, will miss his dear friend, as Di was the best caretaker and friend to him. They made each other laugh. Her family was everything to her. Her love was fierce. Thank you, Di, for EVERYTHING you have done for us. Rest now. Look over your family always, especially during this tremendous loss.

I went to grade school with our mom and she was of my favorite people. I had the pleasure of being in contact with her on facebook and feel honored to have been able to say that. Amazing girl, Mom and wife. She is a good one for sure.

I met Diane on my first day of High School in homeroom. She had a great sense of humor and was just so funny. I had several classes with her throughout the years and although I hadn't seen her in many years I remember her fondly and can't help but smile when I think of her quick wit and sense of humor.

Mark, Jason, & Katie: I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved mother. She was always good to me and we chatted often! Over the summer, she told me that she had worked with my Aunt Emma. I just lost my father on November 13th, so I feel your pain! I’m certain that my dad gave her a big hug when she arrived! You are all in my thoughts and prayers!

Diane and I were high school friends. She touched base with me recently on my birthday. We had a nice conversation.
Diane always made me laugh and we had such a great time together. We were all blessed to have known her.
May she have eternal rest.
My heart goes out to her family and dear friends.
