I just learnt  about Diana today and I wanted to say how sorry I am. We worked together for many years at St Edmund starting in 1985. It was a joy to work with her. After we all retired we would meet up to have mini reunions with Evie,Claudette Tibblin, Louise Cote, Luce Turgeon  and others. 
Wonderful luck memories of Diana and our time together.

I was so sorry to hear of Diana’s death.  I only taught with her for one year in 1984 at St.Edmund but she left a lasting impression on me both personally and professionally.  I remember her beautiful, welcoming smile and the sense of calm and kindness that emanated from her.  She was so present both to her students (who adored her) and to all her colleagues, always caring, professional and positive.
Her legacy is to have gently touched the lives of so many special needs children and the teachers she inspired.
My sympathy to all of you for your loss but I know Diana remains firmly planted in your hearts - she wouldn’t have it any other way.

I remember being with Diana on our weekly winter ski bus outings and going to various locations with Rob Roy Skiing. Many winters of fun. I would see Diana at different times through our Montreal Lakeshore University Womens Club events. Happy memories of a smiling upbeat woman. May she rest peace.

Our deepest condolences Cindy and James and Margot on behalf of Eibhlin and the McHale clan.  Ciara and I were with Eibhlin this morning and appreciated the opportunity to attend your mom’s service virtually (and Dave from Toronto).  Eibhlin shared a few memories of their MLUWC days and acknowledged your mom’s love of art.  We all remember your mom’s genuine interest in our news.  we remember her best for her infectious laugh and overall positivity.  Thinking of you at this difficult time.  The McHale family

My wife Cheryl and I are very appreciative of the opportunity to view the service celebrating Aunt Diana's wonderful life. We enjoyed hearing more about her passion for teaching, art and community service. Her great sense of humor and zest for life meant that there was never a dull moment at holiday time or on vacation in the Adirondacks. Cheryl admired her sense of style and interest in everything around her.

We are so sorry that the pandemic prevented us from being there with all of you for this celebration of Aunt Diana's remarkable life.

Sending strength and love,

Tom and Cheryl 

Dearest Cindy, Margot, and Jim and Family

Sending you my deepest condolences at this very difficult time in your lives. Your mother was a great inspiration to all who met her. She shared her kindness, her humanity, and her love of life in all its beautiful simplicity with everyone around her. Her smile, her knowledge, and most of all her strength will never be forgotten. She had a huge impact on my life, and I will miss all the happy moments we shared together. May she Rest In Peace , and May God give your family the strength to continue to keep her memories alive. I will never forget you Diana. 
All my love, 
Sonia
