My thoughts are wth your family during this time.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Diane in CSHCS for the State and had wonderful conversations always with Diane. She reached out to me when she was going to retire and I told her she would be greatly missed. She was a wonderful lady and always a pleasure to work with her and the many chats we had. God bless you all while you say good-bye and thoughts are with you all.

I worked with Diane for over 5 years at BEDHD. For a long time, our desks were only separated by a cubicle wall. I spent a lot of time chatting and getting to know Diane while also overhearing the way she treated patients and their families with true compassion and understanding. Diane was a shining light who worked extremely hard to get our families what they needed in their darkest days. I will miss hearing her "Good morning!" and "Have a good night!" at the office. She touched so many lives, and I will carry the memories I have of her with me forever. My heart goes out to her family as they navigate this tremendous loss.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I had the privilege of meeting Diane at McKenzie (Mac) McCrumb’s bridal shower and saw her again at the wedding. I quickly understood why she was Nancy(Brodbeck)Mac’s best friend growing up. She was so kind and I enjoyed chatting with her and her sister. I am praying peace and comfort over her family as you all go through this difficult time. May Jesus wrap His arms around you.

I worked with Diane for almost 4 years, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to know her. She was one of the kindest and most caring people I have ever met. Diane had a way of making everyone around her feel cared for and valued. She treated her coworkers like her patients, with genuine kindness, compassion, and love. Her warmth and the way she cared about the people around her will always stand out to me. She will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

Diane is missing in this photo but only a few feet away taking this photo. She will be missed greatly but always in our hearts.  Thank You God for Diane and teaching us how to Love each other well.

What can I say.  Sleep overs were always fun and filled with memories that  will last forever.

Couldn’t ask for a better sister in Christ.  God’s beauty shows in and through you.  Love you 🥰

What a beautiful day with all my family. Thank you Diane for your sacrifice and making this trip up north .

Thanks for always being there for me. You and I had sooo many belly laughs and great times together. Love you dearly Diane.  I thank God for the times we had together here on earth. Looking forward to spending eternity in heaven with you!!! 💕

I was working at Little Casers in Grand Ledge when Diane stopped in to get pizza  following a game that she had gone too with one of her grandsons. We got to chat for a little bit, she introduced her grandson to me cause he wanted to know how we knew each other . So her grandson found out that he had another cousin. So sorry to her of passing  from cancer . 😢🙏🙏🙏🙏 Sending heartfelt prayers to all the family members.           
                                           Sincerely,
                   Cousin Kathryn M. Platte & Family

I’m very sad that Diane has passed.  I’ve known her for many years through church.  We were in the same Sunday school class, were we got to know each other better.  She was a sweet person who loved the lord deeply.  I will miss her. I can imagine her entrance into heaven… a big smile on her face, joy in her heart, and Jesus spreading out his arms to welcome her home.  Praying for Jeff and her family. 💗🙏

So sorry for your families loss..I always enjoyed our conversations while cutting her hair.. she will be missed.. hugs to you all.. Anna kellogg
