I have searched for the words to describe Diana and what her friendship meant to me and they are all inadequate. We were friends for close to 40 years and she cannot be replaced. I will love her and meet up with her again some day. My love to her family and Miss Kitty, Lucy and Jake.

Im so sorry to hear of Dianas passing. We worked together at the Principal for years where I learned many things from her. I enjoyed her sense of humor and we shared a love of dogs. No doubt she will be missed by many.

Diana and I 'grew up' together in the Defined Benefit department at Principal. We worked closely for many years and also had many, many social event together. I'm so sorry to hear this news.

Heartfelt condolences to Diana's family and friends. I did not see much of Diana for a number of years but have quite fond memories of youthful time spent together as our families were quite close. We also visited when we lived in Des Moines. Hers is a very sad loss.

My condolences to Diana's family in her sudden loss. I knew Diana my entire career at Principal and have very fond memories of her. She was a knowledgable, conscientious employee but she was so much more. She generously hosted a bridal shower for me in 1984. We rode together to work many days when I lived in Clive, especially in bad weather. And she was devoted to her family and to her dogs. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

I was very saddened to hear about Diana's death. I too worked with her for many years at the Principal. She was a very dedicated hard worker and always the go-to person for so many of our day to day processes! My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends today and the days to come.
