Bill, Cara, Will and Chris.  So very sorry to read about Diane's passing. I have fond memories of her and your family. Diane was a friend of my dad's from when they were in high school or prior to then.  I hope all is well with you.  Best wishes.

Sweet Sweet Lady.  I am so sorry for your loss.  I knew Mrs. Thomas for over 36 yrs.  I grew up next door.  Cara, Will, Chris, and the rest of us neighborhood kids played, swam, and went to school together.  She met each of my babies, and had only kind words.  A very generous Woman.  My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Thomas and the entire family. May God comfort you greatly in this time the way only He can.  Deepest sympathy's

Sweet Sweet Lady, I knew Mrs. Thomas for over 36 yrs.  I grew up next door.  Cara, Will (Willy) Chris, and all of us neighborhood kids used to play, swim,play "kick the can" and go to school together. She met each of my babies, and always had such kind words.  I enjoyed our visits when I would sometime's drive her to Work.  She was a Woman of great generosity.  My heart and prayers go out to Mr. Thomas and the entire family.  May God richly bless you with the comfort's only He can bring. My deepest sympathies, Deborah Gardner-Bassford

Thank you for the wonderful comments. Mom was a wonderful wife and mother. Words can't describe how much we will all miss her.

I've grown up with Mr. and Mrs. Thomas living across the street from me. They are an amazing family. Mrs. Thomas was a great woman and it has been an honor to have her as my neighbor my entire life. She will forever be in our hearts.

I have known Diane and her family since my husband, our three children and I moved next door to them in 1976. Our kids all grew up together. She will be missed so very much.  She was one of the most kind Lady's I know.  Rest in peace Diane.

Glen and I grew up next door and across the street from the Thomas'.  Now for the past 10 years our family has lived next door.  Amazing woman and proud to have known her.

Diane was one of my mother's best friends for over 70 years. A kind and lovely woman who suffered for too long. She will be missed.
