Childhood memories carry me back to a summer family meeting in Aunt Frieda's back yard, with giggling Diane, elusive Eric, little Barb, and a whole lot of popcorn. When we met again 2012, after decades, decades that certainly had left their mark, what did I see? Well - not the old giggle - but Diane's wonderful, friendly smile. Thank you, Diane.

Diane's mother, Frieda, & my husband being cousins, we enjoyed many family gatherings together before we moved out East. As well, Diane & I were part of a foursome of family women who went to Las Vegas in the early 80s, the memories of which I still treasure. We will miss her & the humour in her Christmas letters.

I taught with Diane at Radisson School. I enjoyed her dry sense of humour. She always had a really positive outlook. Diane seemed shy and quiet, but I appreciated her willingness to travel and try new things. My friend, Karen Craven (now deceased) really loved her Scrabble games with Diane. She told me that I wouldn't fit in with their games, because she and Diane were totally non-competitive, playing for the sheer fun of it and never taking time to look for a longer or higher-scoring word. She had a high regard for Diane and valued their friendship. - Posted by: Linda Rodgers (colleague) on: Oct 24, 2013
