I cannot recall a time when Diana did not bring a smile to my face. She was a beautiful soul and will be missed greatly by her courthouse family. My thoughts and prayers are with her father, children and grandchildren.

Diana was 1 (one) kind of a lady. Her smile lit up a room. Her smile especially lit up the room if she talking about her grand-babies. My condolences go out to her family.

Some people come into our lives and leave. Others come in and we are so touched, we are never the same.
My heart is heavy for you, Yolanda and you family with this great sudden loss. I greatly miss my friend, Diana. I will miss that laugh only she can ring from the second floor up to where I'm at on 3. Fate had it for the past 10 years that she and I were friends. I have known her to be a good girlfriend, always smiling and joking. We bonded because of our common threads....love of our grandkids and daughters, who were both born in 77. We could always relate those 70's as I had many jokes for her and she counted on me to make her. I will miss her so so very much. I will be praying for all of you. May God comfort us all during this time.

Diana was a "gem". She always had a smile on her face and she will be very missed at the courthouse. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.
