I so enjoyed working with Diane at Boice-Willis Clinic. She was knowledgeable about her job. Heaven gained an angel!
Rest in peace, Aunt Diane.
My heart is broken after losing my life long friend of 44 years. She was my best shopping buddy and beach buddy. I will never forget her and will always have her in my heart. My love and sympathy for her husband Andy and son Kevin and her most adorable grandson Max, I know they will miss her presence in their lives but will hold many of her loving memories she shared with them. I know she will be another Angel in Heaven.
Diane was best best friend for 25 years! She has been with me through so many changes of my life! She was my sounding board when no one else would listen!!! I am heartbroken! Thankful for the laughs and The cries! I will forever love this woman!! May you rest peacefully ❤️
I am so shocked and so heartbroken to learn of the loss of Diane. Diane and I have been friends since first grade at Coopers and rekindled our friendship after many years as we both worked at Boice Willis Clinic. We have shared lots of good memories, and lots of laughter. Someone commented that Diane always had a smile and a twinkle in her eye…..and she definitely did. A very special woman. Andy, she loved all of you SO much, especially handsome Maxwell! She was SO proud of him……and of Kevin, too! Tight hugs, love, and many prayers from many friends that love you all as you navigate through this very difficult time.
Hilda and myself were stunned to hear of Diane’s passing. Diane was a caring, loving person who was supportive of others needs. We already miss her vibrance and will for a very long time. God Bless Andy, Kevin and most of all…….her loving MAX
I am so sorry to hear of Diane’s passing. She was a wonderful, sweet person. I will be praying for your family.
Andy, My heart is heavy. So sorry to hear of your loss. Diane was always such a Godly woman and loved by many. Remember the summers we all helped your dad on the farm. We had so much fun! Know that you and your family are loved by many and Our Lord will guide you through these days.

I love to hear her laugh. My heart goes out to the family. May God Bless each one of you during this trying time. All are in my prayers.
It’s so hard to say good-bye to my dear friend. I can’t imagine my life without her in it. My prayers go out to Andy, Kevin & all of those who knew & loved her. Diane touched our lives and we were blessed.
I was privileged to work with Ms. Dianne leading up to her retirement in the Cardiology Dept at BWC. Class act and always a source of encouragement and laughter. She loved her family & friends greatly. You are and will continue to be in my prayers for comfort at such a sad time. Alicia

So sorry to hear of the passing of Diane. I worked with her for many years. She was such a pleasure to be with and so excited to retire and spend time with her beloved family. She was so proud of all of you. I am sorry that time was cut short. My thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones. I will cherish my memories.
Andy & Kevin, I worked with Diane at Optometric Eye Care Center many, many moons ago. I looked forward to receiving her Christmas card every year and it was ALWAYS the first one we received. My husband & I were lucky enough to run into Diane at Walmart about a year ago and I so treasure the few minutes I got to share with her that day. We did kept in touch through social media and her love for you, Kevin and Handsome Maxwell was so evident. I was heartbroken to hear of her passing. Heaven has a beautiful angel. May God’s peace be with you all. Sincerely, Deborah
I went to school with Diane. We had been Facebook friends for years. I just learned that she had heard that she passed away. I am so shocked. I knew she had to have some surgery but she seemed to be improving. I am so very sad to hear about her death. I enjoyed seeing her pictures of Maxwell aka Handsome. Praying for the family. She was such a sweet person. God Bless you all. Jeannie
Andy, I was so sad to hear of the the passing your lovely wife Diane. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
