I loved to laugh with Diane. I was outrageous sometimes just to hear her laugh. She will always live in a corner of my brain. She was loveable, wise, and gracious.

Diane was my best friend for 47+ years. We met for lunch every week,we rode to work everyday together for 15+ years. We called our friendship the Pizza Girls, we went through thick and thin together. Her humor was contagious, we laughed at everything, we always found the humor. I miss my friend, I always will. I lover her family and hope to remain a piece of the love.
Until I see her again, I will find myself thinking of her,smiling , and missing her.

I don’t think there was ever a time that I wasn’t laughing when I was with my Aunt Diane. Even when a serious conversation was happening, she had the ability to make people laugh. I’ve said for years that she could have/should have been a stand up comedian. I’ll cherish those memories.
