Dear John I was sorry to read of Diane’s passing in the paper this morning. It was not too long ago that Kristen and I had a visit when she was in London to see Diane. I think I only met Diane once over the years but I know she will be missed by many and remembered for her gifts. This will be a big change for you and Arthur. My sincere condolences to you both. Take care.

Dear john:
So sorry about your loss. Diane and I shared lunches and exchanged ideas over the years. I still wear a couple of pairs of earrings she made. I have been away from London for fourteen years now, but have many fond memories of my times with both of you, and I am sad that she is now gone from us all. I understand Patricia visited her the day before she died, and for that I am happy. Stay strong my dear, and know that you are on my prayer list. Love, Sheila
To Arthur and Family,
I was sorry to hear about Diane’s passing. I have fond memories of listening to Diane’s stories and drum while sitting on the grass lawn in front of Tecumseh Public School.
My sincere condolences to you and your family,

Dear John and Arthur: Diane was my cousin, Fred’s daughter. We both shared our love of stories, especially family stories. She helped me to better “tell” my stories. She was a loving and creative person who was very proud of her “boy,” Arthur.
I am so grateful to have met Diane and witness her kindness and creativity at LIFE*SPIN. A spectacular storyteller and individual that captured the hearts of so many adults and children alike. Diane will be truly missed by so many!
