Dear Joyce Lutz and family, We were sorry to hear about Diane. She was our neighbor on St Clair for many years. Diane was always friendly and helpful. She would even greet our dog Dillan. I appreciated her nursing skills too. She offered to help me when I was diagnosed with cancer. There were many holidays she would work so others could have the day off to be with their families . Diane liked to work in her yard and had so many beautiful flowers. We especially liked the honeysuckle and blue flowering vines on her mailbox every summer. When our daughter was home, Diane had us over to enjoy her pool. A special memory from years gone by. We would send Christmas cards every year. They are especially meaningful to us now. We will miss Diane. May you find comfort knowing all the lives she touched and care she gave to so many people. Sincerely, Dee Hartzler
I’m so sorry to hear of Diane’s passing. I worked with her off and on since 1986. She was one of my favorite people in the world. I had lost touch with her after I left the hospital so I am in total shock. She was so smart, witty, funny, and a general all around great person. She will be missed.
Richard Just wanted to share my deepest sympathy and know you’re being thought of! Hugs to you and your kids and your family!! May her memory bet eternal!
Diane was a great nurse. She was my night preceptor for orientation as a brand new baby nurse in CICU. Loved all her knowledge and stories of her life adventures! Miss you Diane.
My dear friend: May you rest in peace. You will be missed by all of your friends, and family. My deepest sympathy to your mom, sister, and your two nieces of whom I’ve had the privilege of getting to know over the years. Also to the rest of your family, I want to extend my sympathy and prayers. Diane was a joy to work with and a good friend. I will miss her very much. May you feel the support from one another and friends.
Dear Aunt Joyce, Kathy, Rich and Pat, The service was beautiful. You are all in our thoughts and prayers, for peace and comfort in this hard time. Love and hugs, Jeff and Debbie (Hoelscher) Brust
Remembering you and “Diane Lutz” in our minds and in our hearts. Diane will be greatly missed!
