    Our deepest condolences to the family. We were neighbours and lived beside Diane when she was at Sandycove. What a nice lady she was.

    We were so sad to hear of Diane’s passing. Our condolences are with all of her family. We first met Diane when she was teaching Highland dance from her home in Alcona and I have kept up our friendship since then through Guiding and Trefoil. She took on the challenge of trying to teach our son Craig, how to dance when he was little, even though he was legally blind. Her patience and easy going manner with him, was wonderful to see. She also taught our daughter Christine. Diane has been a good friend for over 45 years and I will miss her greatly.

    Dear Judy, Michelle, Chris,
    Words are difficult to find at a moment of loss like this. My memories of your sister/mother go back to a long time ago. Her departure is a loss to all of us, but it is you who bear the greatest burden. Our thoughts are with you in this sorrowful time.
    Cousin Pat and Sigrid
