Happy Birthday Diann,

I took you some flowers last week, miss you so much, i know you are having a great time with all your quilting friends, but wish you could be here to go to the quilting classes that I have been going too.   Love you

Happy Birthday Mom!
Miss you everyday.

Diann,  I stopped by and visited with you when I took some flowers to Mom for her birthday, I tried to leave some for youtoo, but Dick will have to go with me as I could not get your other flowers out of the vase. We are in Steamboat this week to attend Sharon's wedding, I thought that you would like that I was there for you and I know you will be there in spirit. I asked Karin to meet us but she had a class on Saturday. Love you Francie

Happy Birthday Diann

I hope you see the flowers that Dick and I took to you yesterday.  Mom is up there with you now, she has missed you so much.  Tell Mom, Dad and Mary Hi for me.  Miss you guys   -- Love you

Diann, You will truly be missed by everyone. You touched many lives with your friendship, love and compassion. You welcomed me into the Rees family with open arms.... I will always remember your kindness and understanding. Your girls and granddaughters are a beautiful legacy. They certainly were blessed to have you as a role model.

Diann you will truly be missed. I will always remember working with you in translations. You were so knowledgable in 5E's and was always very supportive when I needed help. I will always remember our lunches with Linda. How strange that you are both gone. I guess one never knows what life will have in store for us. I will always love you. Beth

Diann has been a dear, true friend since I first met her in 1991. I treasure so many wonderful memories of her. Diann was so sweet, kind, funny, loving, generous, strong, friendly and spunky. We had lots of great conversations and laughs. What a blessing she has been. She will be forever in my heart. Diann loved Jerry, her family, and her animals. And she always will. God Bless you all.

I have so many good memories of growing up in Grand Junction with my cousins and my Aunt Diann. Her house was one you could just ride your bike to, show up (no matter when) and all was well as soon as you got in the front door. I have know for a long time I come from a great line of people, but when I remember how hard she fought and how she lived- my respect for aunt Diann only grows.

Hi Diann,
I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have known you. Your presence illuminated this dreary building for every year, every day you were here. We love you and miss you! Heli

Diann- So many years & the laughter (& shared tears,too). We have been through many life events. I will miss you for that & much more. We shared the love of family,friends,pets (ALL animals!!!), crafts of many types -PLUS one of your favorites: the British Royalty. It was always fun to share reviews of books & movies. Sometimes we saw them together. You will be missed - Love to your family

Karin and Jer... just wanted to let you know that there are hundreds of people praying for you all over the US right now. I'm thinking of you always and will pray for you every day. I pray that God lifts you up in His light as you go through this transition. You are not alone. Love you always!

Diann -- This is Mom on Francie's computer since I do not have email.   Honey I miss you so much, you were my first baby and I loved you so much, when you got whooping cough I thought I had lost you and I about went out of my mind.  I miss you so much and wish that you were here with me now.  Honey you always stood by me and no one is as special as you, All my love MOM

For my best friend and sister - Diann I miss you so much.  A part of me is with you and I know that you are another angel in Heaven. I know that you are with Dad and Mary now. If we could call up to Heaven and speak to all of you now it would be so wonderful. 
I am so blessed to have you as my sister. We love you and miss you,  Francie and Dick

Babe, words alone cannot describe the loss I and everyone that had the privilege of knowing you feel right now. You were always there for me during good or stressful times. You touched everyone with your genuine caring, unselfish and generous personality. I will miss your cheerful smile and sharing of our life events the most. Thank you for the opportunity to be your life’s partner.

Diann, you were such a special person, so compasionate, caring and always willing to help. I will always remember those Saturday's of all day scrapbooking and all the help you gave me when I was learning. Those were the days and I will truly miss them, the Christmas Parties and the July 4th's. We will remember you and love you always.

I got to know Diann best when she started attending yoga classes at my studio. She had some fear about going upside down, but after several months, she did and the look on her face was priceless: achievement, success, and pride. She never gave up and she overcame her fear. She was a joy in class and I'm forever grateful for the lessons she taught me. I miss her and will never forget her.

Karin, your mom put up with so much from both of us when we were teens! She always had patience and forgiveness and Jer did too. God has her in his awesome presence now where she is no longer in pain. She will always be smiling down upon you and she knows who was there with her at the end. There is a special place in Heaven for you and Jer. I love you and you'll always be my "Rin".

Karin and Jerry how we thank you for sharing the precious gift of Diann friend, mother and wife. Diann has been such a good friend to us all, caring and loving and kind. Karin, she has always had words of appreciation and thankfulness for having you as a daughter, and Jerry she loved you and believed in you! What a special gift. How we thank God for each day and hour we had with her.

There are so many things that I never got the chance to say to you...the impression that you left on my life will ALWAYS be with me, just as YOU will always be with me. My mentor, my "work mom", My dear, dear friend...I love and miss you everyday! I will never forget the times we shared together and the many lessons you taught me! We'll see you again someday!

Karin,
I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I will be there to help you get through this rough time. Take care of yourself. I will see you soon.

For my best friend, Karin~ Your mom's beautiful soul and kind heart live on through you. She was so very lucky to have you with her every day of this long fight; she deserved the very best and you gave that to her. And you, too, were so blessed with a supportive, generous and truly awesome mom. I love ya, Karin, and as you were there for me when my mom died, I am here for you.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. A part of us went with you, the day God took you home. If tears could build a stairway and heartaches make a lane, we'd walk our way to heaven, and bring you back again. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, in our hearts you hold a place no one could ever fill. - Love you so much Mommy!
