I always will love you Dianna..When you were here ..you were always dealing with illness and pain..But you always ALWAYS! Thought of others...This I will remember about you Dianna...

Knew you for only a short amount of time...thank you girl...miss you very much...

Hi baby girl. I received your death certificates today. It's been rough Honey. If it wasn't for your visits I don't know how I would make it. You always seem to know when I need you the most. I pray I'm not keeping you from something more important or worse, keeping you in limbo.
    I haven't written on this forum because my feelings are raw and it is hard to share them.  I am making progress, mostly with your help. I found a Valentines' Day card you forgot to give me last year. I saved it to open, thank you. I think your thoughtfulness was an amazing part of you. You had so little but gave so much.  Got past Easter by knowing you're with Jesus. Mothers Day is next. I remember so clearly how important it was for the three of us to be together, you, Grandma and me. We both were so afraid it would be her last. How ironic. The day I am dreading the most is May 31st. I can feel the anxiety building. I have been getting through the year by reminding myself, last year at this time Dianna and I were.... After May 31st I just don't know what my tool will be. I know this..., I am still alive and I will continue to live with your memories and visits to keep me going till we meet again. What a glorious day that will be. 
With all my loving heart,
Mom

Always will remember you sweet Diana..Marianne, I know you do not know me well but I am offering my hand if you need to talk.I want to help if I can...Big Hugs ...

Still can't believe your gone and I feel so much for your mom . I pray she is able to grieve . I think of u often and miss u so much . You were one of the best friends I ever had . I am so glad to know that u believed and are in heaven watching down on us . Please hold our baby's tight for me until I get there . I feel u around me and it makes me feel at peace . I love u . To your mom , I'm still praying for u

Not a day passes my beautiful friend that something doesnt remind me of you! You are missed so very much....Marianne if you need anything please call! I know the holidays were something the 2 of you loved..... (((hugs)))

Honey, I'm running away for the holidays. I can't bear to be here without you.With a few exceptions, we have been together for every holiday your whole life. We loved them, and now....? I will try my darling girl to be strong. I will be alone in Kona for 2 weeks, I want to be. I need time alone to grieve. You were to join me, remember?I will take the time to reflect on our years together and be grateful that I was chosen to be the Mom of the most loving, giving,out going, old soul, funny person I have ever known, and you were my daughter. How blessed does that make me? I will remember that Christmas is Jesus's birthday and you are in his arms.I will cry tears of saddness for myself but tears of joy for you. GOD I MISS YOU. with all my heart, Mommy

Dianna rode by the cemetary where your body is..I blew a Kiss and said "I love you Dianna"..I know you can see us,I fully believe that..It's us left behind that hurt..You are not with us in body but in spirit I do believe you are..Much Love to a Special Angel in Heaven..

Its been exactly 3 months tomorrow that you left us.  Everyday i want to call, then feel sick to my stomache because i remember your not going to answer. Moms heart breaks everyday, i try to comfort but nothing takes away the pain.  Kylie and Devon Miss you really bad, they need a good dose of Aunt Dianna.  A piece of my life is gone with out you to fill it.  I miss our chats( we had some good ones) lol. I love you forever, I will see you again, it will seem seconds for you, but an eternity for me...

I can't stop thinking of you. I miss your voice.

My precious Dianna wouldv'e been 33 today.I was going to buy her a cell phone, have mani - pedi's,  and our traditional birthday lunch at the Great Wall and a movie, with popcorn. This year we wouldv'e seen Magic Mike. I know you wouldv'e loved that. Remeber honey what we did on your 18th birthday? we went to see the male strippers. We have always made our birthdays special for each other. This will be the first time were not together, and I am profoundly sad, ...for me, cause after all, like everyone keeps telling me....your beteer off

Dianna, No matter how ill you were you always saw a smile on your face. The last time we saw you in Palmdale, we had a great visit with you. 

We were touched by you in our lives and we will remember you always!

My name is Anne Blair, I haven't seen Dianna in years and I was really sadden to hear about your passing..You were always so sweet...Rest In Peace..You are loved and missed

Did you get to meet the one that lived

every day as if it were her last?

Did you see that smiling face,

did you hear her infectious laugh?

Did you know the one that had a hug

for even the ones that fussed at her?

Did you ever go somewhere and know

when the life of the party arrived?

Did you know the one that could make

the best of the worst situation?

Did you feel like you were a special

person around her?

Did you ever feel so loved?

Were you one of the lucky ones...

that got to meet Dianna Marie Riggs?

I Thank God I had the Pleasure of this sweet Angel,and the Love she so freely gave.

I will always remember the sweetness and the Love she shared , never a bad word about anyone...Pam Bonilla

Dear Sweet Dianna, I would of been at your funeral if I had known.I found out today and my tears are pouring down for you baby Girl. I will always remember you as this beautiful sweet , polite young woman..You always had such love in your heart and I could see it..Even though you had your battles to fight,you always were there for others. Its true we need to let people know how we feel about them and quit thinking they will always be here..I love you Dianna.I just wish I didn't wait to tell you that..God needed an Angel Prayers to the Family at this time..Pam Bonilla (Mikes Mom)

Thank you everyone, your words mean so much to me. I haven't had the heart to answer every post.Just cause I don't always answer each post, doesn't mean I didn't read and appreciate each and every one. It does help, a  lot to know she was loved. I was so afraid people wouldn't come to her service yesterday , to avoid the pain. I was very happy with the turn out and display of love. I believe closure is very , important. not to say my grief is closed, you all know what I mean ,It helped to get togetheer as a unit to support each other in our grief.
  Now I have a request for all of you. please... for Dianna, for me, but most important...for yourselves. Make it count! stop the maddness. Make the right decision, not the easy one.  Enjoy waht life gives you. take each oppertunity to experiance a new adventure. No matter how small, wheather a walk with you dog, a swim in the lake, a trip to Disnyland. they all add up to a sum total of your lifes memoties, and in the end that is all we have of each other. So please don't waste time on grudges, pettyness or wallow in grief or depression.
 LIVE

What a beautiful service it was for you sweet friend.  I don't want to ever think or believe you didn't know how loved you were, but I will say this now; If ever you had a doubt, I know now you can rest assured that your love was felt and returned by many.  SO many people had and have such wonderful memories of and with you, I wanted badly to share one, but had so many to choose from that I would have kept everyone there all day.  All of your family embraced and acknowledged me as your best friend, your Mom gave me all the pictures you kept with us, I saw Meghan and Ryan who are no longer kids and FINALLY met Uncle Jim!!!  My life was truly changed to have known you and will forever be better because of you.  Smile down on me today as I cry and continue to do so as I live on in celebration of your life.  I love you Dianna, you may now go.

Miss you everyday girl...your voice... your smile...most of all... I miss you in this world....My family says i was a different guy around you...(i was happy and smiling)...god bless you girl.

I speak of u often & always have just wish heaven had a number to dial to hear you say something crazy!! My hearts shattered but I know your at peace looking down trying to put all our hearts at ease..i made a promise to your mom i intend to keep...please know thru the 23 years i was blessed to have u in my heart you left a MAJOR footprint in my heart that Ill always cherish.... I miss & love you soooooo very much!

Remembering all the good times with you!  You were our photgrapher at our wedding.  Christian adored you and would cry with joy when you came over on weekends. He cried when you danced with your cousin Harold at a wedding because he only wanted you to dance with him. You would swim with each other for hours. We went trick or treating and you were Dorothy and he was a Ninja Turtle.  We went to the Business Expo and laughed so much.  You took the macaroni and chesse from the donation bin and thought it was a sample.  We saw Carlton from Fresh Prince and asked for his autograph.  Every year we went to get the Easter Bunny pictures and the Santa Claus pictures.  We had fun at Wild Animal Park, Disneyland, Magic Mountain, Palm Springs and Tijuana. Once driving to Palm Springs Liz wanted Christian to stop playing his harmonica and you laughed so much because she was annoyed with him. You put candy in your dad's armpits while he fell asleep when we were visiting Leslie on the beach. You and me always had to stop on the freeway and find a place to p!$$ constantly.  I love the picture of you and Christian wearing sombreros.You sent me a copy of it on my birthday this year.  We saw you when you were the Babe in Babes in Toyland.  And had lunch with you after the beauty contest you entered in Lancaster.  And people were looking at you and you were so HAPPY! You were very sucessful when you worked at the baseball stadium in Lancaster and waitressed in North Carolina. I am very happy that you met Charlie and found love. When 911 happened you told me that you would have given the hijackers a shot of insulin!  You were by far the bravest.
I am very sorry for your mother and your father.  To lose a daughter I cannot even imagine the pain.  I remember many times you saying if anything ever happened to your mother that you would not know how to go on.  You were that close.  Your father and I think of you daily and will miss you very much. What I loved about you the most was your laughter. There will never be another person like you.

Ooohhhh Dianna, what do I do without you? You are my sunshine. I never knew two people could be so close. We have seen and known the best and worst of each other,and loved each other because of it, not in spite of it. When you got diabetes at 12, neither of knew what we were in for. Diabetesis  a terrible disease, I often wished you would've gotten it earlier, and had time to adapt before puberty hit. Right when a kid doesn't want to different, you were. Every time we got a hold of it, a new challenge came right around the corner. I think it was too much for one person to handle. Even the doctors couldn't control it when you were in the hospital, when they were monitoring your intake of food and medications. 
In spite of you challenge with depression, and numerous other inflictions you always chose life. For that you will always be my hero.  I am so grateful of our last conversation, when you told me how happy you were. You wrote in my Mother's Day card, about your dreams and goals. You told me by the time I came back from Kona, you would have a job. I helped you with your resume. We talked of you coming to Kona with me in December. You had so much to live for my Darling brown eyed girl. Then you went to sleep, and never woke up. 
    When you were little, and also every time I got on a plane or went somewhere, you would tell me, Mommy, I couldn't go on without you if something happened to you, and I would tell youâ€¦.life is beautiful Dianna, live for me, Now, here I am without you. I knew not, of what I asked. It is not so easy.in fact, I'm not quite sure what I'll do without you. We were everything to each other. I would say, you are my heart and you would say back to me, you are my soul.
   Dad and Annette have been amazing, even through their own grief, they are watching me. Y our friends are coming out from everywhere, so saddened. Maggie, Emily, Tara, Christen to name a few. Charlie, especially Charlie.
I talk to you constantly, like you are a lucky charm or something. The weird thing is, I get answers. Annette told me the same thing. I am so glad she moved back here. We need each other. I saw you the other night, watching over me. You looked so sad. Soon, my darling you will be happier than one can imagine. You had such a tough road, and an even tougher one ahead of you, with those upcoming surgeries. No more pain, no more needles, infections, medications, depression, sickness of any kind. I know rain falls on us all, I just could never figure out why it pours on just a few. 
I could write on and on, but I want to say, that having you for a daughter was my honor. I loved you unconditionally in life and I will do so in death. 
I love you, a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck, and a hug around the neck. 
    Mom

MY NAME IS SUNNY SALZER OR AUNT SUNNY TO DIANNA & FAMILY. I AM HAPPY TO SAY I SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH HER GROWING UP AND IN LATER YEARS WATCHED HER BLOSSOM TO A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY. DIANNA HAD MORE STRUGGLES THAN THE AVERAGE PERSON DUE IN PART TO HEALTH PROBLEMS, YET SHE ALWAYS MAINTAINED A GOOD ATTITUDE. I NEVER HEARD HER SAY A BAD WORD ABOUT ANYONE. SHE LOVED HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS.  SHE WAS WITHOUT A DOUBT A VERY GENEROUS PERSON. WHAT LITTLE MONEY SHE HAD SHE WOULD SPEND IT ON YOU AND NOT HERSELF. SHE WOULD GIVE YOU THE SHIRT OFF HER BACK IF YOU NEEDED IT.
I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HER BEAUTIFUL WARM SMILE AND WILL MISS THE ATTENTION SHE GAVE ME EACH TIME I SAW HER. OUR WALKS, OUR TALKS, AND LETS NOT FORGET HER BACKRUBS. THOSE ARE HUST A FEW THINGS I WILL MISS. I WILL MISS YOU DIANNA  AND WILL FOREVER HOLD YOU DEAR TO MY HEART. REST IN PEACE AND SAY HELLO TO THE REST OF THE FAMILY IN HEAVEN. LOVE FOREVER AND ALWAYS, AUNT SUNNY XOXO

Still trying to wrap my mind around you being gone. You will always be in my heart, I will miss your sweet smile and precious voice, but I know that you are in a better place.
Love,
Aunt Janet

I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU WERE MY HEART AND SOUL FOREVER MY TRUE SOUL MATE GIVE ARE DAUGHTER A KISS FOR ME LOVE CHARLIE

I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU WERE MY HEART AND SOUL GIVE ARE DAUGHTER A KISS FOR ME!!

Dianna, My forever TRUEBLUE. You were also like a sister to me. You were always there when needed and you always had a way to look on the bright side. I am praying for your family , especially your mom, who must also be devistated. You meant the world to her. I also send my regards to Charlie who also loved you dearly. My thoughts keep going back to times we shared when we were closer. You were truly my "No Matter What" and may your soul rest in peace. I love you and miss you forever. Your friendship was special and hard to find and you are one of a kind. Be well my friend. May your spirit live on.... in Heaven!!

"As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well used brings a happy death."-Leonardo da Vinci- 
Dianna & I were friends in elementary school and junior high school. When I heard about her passing I was lost for words. I will always remember hanging out with you, Tara, and Kristine at the mall and by the pool and all of the good times that we had together. You were a great person and a kindred spirit. You are greatly loved and missed. My your soul rest in peace. God bless.

Dianna always had a beautiful smile yet I could always read her pain. She was so sensitive to others feelings, such a gentle soul. "This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you". I know she is resting in Gods arms now and has abundant love and peace.

Missing you every time i wake up till i go to sleep..(not very often)love and miss you girl..3 kisses for you always, I'd give you a 1000...

One week and i still cant understand why...love and miss you girl, Manuel.

I love u D, and I hope u knew that. You will always be a part of the fab 5! I miss you so much. please watch out for me n mine. xoxo always and 4 ever. I remember our late night talks and the end of the night song from the Art Laboe song we played for eachother.. Goodnight sweetheart well its time to go.. Words cant say how much u will be missed, Im just glad you are not suffering anymore. You will always be in my heart. love you Maggz

I am still in a state of shock and don't really know what to say except I am going to miss your sweet face and voice  I love you so much Dianna.

I will always and forever hold all our special memories close to my heart.You were like a sister to me for many years and we were inseperable from the day we met in elementary school at the park,until our Junior year in high school when I moved out of state.Your mom and Randy treated me like part of your family.I am forever thankful they opened their hearts to me the way they did.So many things I have only experienced once in my lifetime because of our special bond and their kindness to me.Just to mention a few, our adventerous trip to Mammoth where I 1st learned to ski, my 1st and only dodgers game they took us to,our memorable birthday blast in  Reno,Nevada (my 1st and only time there),and so much more.We had a kind of bond  that very few people are ever lucky enough know. I will forever cherish the many years we were "joined at the hip" and the countless memories I have with you.Dianna I love you and know that you are pain free,happy,and in paradise with baby Arianna.I take comfort in knowing that someday we will be reunited in heaven,and never again have to say goodbye to each other.I love you with all my heart and feel so lucky to have had you in my life.I will see you when I get there my beautiful Angel Dianna Marie Riggs!!

Marianne, Randy and family, My heart goes out to you, as we mourn Dianna"s passing. But, I also rejoice in the knowledge that she has now moved into a new realm. She is now and will be forever more an Angel sitting near the Throne of Jesus. Please remember all the love you shared with each other, and fear not, you will all be together again. Love, Pat (Sullivan) Wood and family.

I don't really have the right words in my mind to say what it is I feel in dealing with your loss Dianna, but I believe you know what is in my heart. I had been using Facebook as my forum to mourn and speak to you how I feel, so I'm just going to briefly say I love you, I know you're no longer in any pain; physical or otherwise and you are sitting at the good Lords side with your baby girl watching over all of us who love you. Keep us safe and know that we will all see you again one day.

For those of us that where lucky enough to have Diana in our lives will forever have her beautiful smile she always had even in the toughest times and laughter. I know she's at peace now. I love you Diana and will remember the great memories we made together. Run free in heaven, make them laugh and we will meet again my friend one day. I love you

My memories of your sweet smile & beautiful kind heart, I will cherish forever. I will always honor your life..
    Love & Miss you Dianna Riggs
