Diane came into my life such a short time ago, but instantly we bonded. Her heart was so full of love for her ‘babies’, her family, her patients, her friends, and those of us who adopted her as she adopted us. She went above and beyond caring for my parents just because she was ‘Diane’. She let me cry when I needed to, and then her infectious love for life would come out and she would have me grounded and smiling again. Just reading an email from her, I could ‘hear’ her love and care. She called, even after she was finished ‘training’, just to see how we were. She made that 100-mile trip several times, just because she had faith that my parents could handle dialysis at home….just a little more encouragement. She called every day….often more than once, when she knew we were in the hospital. She took the time to find out what the diagnosis was, and then explained everything to me in terms I could understand….but she didn’t sugar-coat it for me….for which I am so thankful! I am sad for the patients that will never get to know Diane; for her ‘boys’ who won’t have Nana to grow up with; and for me and my family, as we lost such a special person who made such a lasting impact on our lives. Diane, you will always be in my heart.
Diane–your picture makes me smile. You were so much fun to work with, always laughing. You were a great nurse, always with your priorities in the right place. Heaven just got a little brighter this week.

Diane was a shining angel to all she knew thanking God as her two sons always grew She loved her own family that raised a star shining into our lives, loving us as we are She walked through life finding so much joy She was thee to keep us happy, never to annoy God knows how many lives she saved, each day But she did it With Diane’s own loving way Words cannot the friendships that she shared Those of us know that she was one who cared By her smile, her laughter, and listen to all For God came to take her Home,never to fall, In sleep, in dreams, waking up to eternity We shall always cherish time with you and me God we thank you for Diane,shining so we see That Diane will be there leaving us never, And rest assured friends are friends forever.
Now God has someone with him to make him laugh and smile! We love and miss you, Diane!
