Pete, Gary and I have enjoyed NWSA reunions with you and Diane over the past 12 years. Our cruise reunion this past winter was especially precious as we were able to spend many fun days together , enjoying each other’s company again. Diane always made our gatherings sparkle with her outgoing energy. She is now a shining jewel in paradise.

Diane will be missed by so many. My heart certainly holds a very special place for her. She was always warm, & welcoming; a wonderful lady, wife to Pete, mother, sister, friend, confidant, faith-filled mentor, and just the biggest heart a person could have. If ever an obstacle made you stumble, Diane would lead your focus to the Shepherd and His Presence over the rocky road. Thanks be to God for her friendship in this earthly journey. I look forward to seeing you in the promised eternity. I will miss you always until then.

This dear friend will be missed by so many. My heart certainly holds a very special place for Diane. She was always a warm, welcoming soul ever since we first attended Bethel Lutheran church. She was a wonderful lady, wife to Pete, mother, sister, friend, confidant, faith-filled mentor, and just the biggest heart a person could have. If ever an obstacle made you stumble, Diane would lead your focus to the Shepherd and His Presence over the rocky road. Thanks be to God for her friendship in this earthly journey.

Diane you will be missed. I will always remember you asking Rick and I to help put up the Christmas decorations at Bethel Lutheran Church after we joined and how much fun we had doing that :D. You were a great friend (sister), confidant, mentor, beauiful soul. I'm grateful the Lord put you in my journey here on earth. Rest in Peace sis.
Love you, Pam

So sorry Pete! I remember Diane from Bethel and always so smiley and energetic. I loved all of her dance recitals in the fellowship hall. She always made my brother Chris and I feel comfortable. She will truly be missed such a kind and loving woman
