It is with a truly heavy heart that I express my deepest sympathy to my Aunt Elsie and Uncle June for the loss of my cousin Dianne.  She was a geniunely loving soul and ray of sunshine that will sorely be missed by everyone that was fortunate enough to have known her.  Rest in peace, my dear cousin.

We are so sad that we can't be there with you during this heartbreaking time. Know that our hearts are broken and we will be thinking of you and praying that God gives you peace. We loved Dianne with all our hearts. She was genuinely one of God's jewels and we will miss her hugs and sweet kisses so much.

My sympathy goes out to the family during this difficult time. I am a friend and co-worker of Marj Warren and worked at Hopedale Nursing Home when Elsie volunteered.

Dear Elsie and Frank and Family, Dianne and the people that loved her have put their mark on our society in a way that we all could learn so much.  Grace, mercy and love are the things that I think of when I see the care you gave Dianne.  She returned all of those things I am sure and brought you much joy and laughter.  God knew she would make you rich so he blessed your lives with her presence.  Now she is totally God's and He has a great place for her in His Kingdom.  I am sorry for your great loss.  My love,

I had the pleasure of being the nurse at the Day Training site in Tremont for 7 1/2 years while Dianne was there; she always had a big smile on her face and greeted everyone with a hello daily.  She was, and always will be, a ray of sunshine to all.

So sorry to hear about Diane.  The Darnalls in Hawaii are very saddened and are thinking about the Long family.
