Claudette, please accept my condolences to you and your family for the loss of Diane.  As your co-worker for years, I felt in a sense I knew Diane.  I can't imagine what it is like to lose a child.  May your memories help soothe the grief.
Best wishes from Bette Buchanan

Diane - Knowing you over the past 26 years, I feel blessed to have had you grace my life. Your hearty laugh, your love for your daugther Melissa and your grand kids as well as your family was something to be admired and proud of.

You left us all too early. Your presence in our lives and on this earth shined brightly even thouhgh it was way too brief and I for one know my life was changed for the better for having you in my life. May you rest with the angels and I know you are filling heaven with your wonderful laughter, your warm embrace and I'm sure your rendition of David Cassidy's, "I think I love you." I remember how we sang that song in your car on our way to Ed Debevics one afternoon to celebrate your birthday.

To Melissa, your grandkids and your family, I send my prayers and thoughts and I lift them up to the Lord's embrace for comfort and peace during this difficult time. Know you will see Diane again one day and what a reunion that will be in God's kingdom.

With deepest sympathies, Lillian

To family and friends - My hope is that the memory of Diane will always remain in your hearts in everything you see and do in your daily life. I worked with her and got to know her as a sweet, gentle, helpful, and caring lady. She will be missed.

Diane and I worked together in the 80's and early 90's at the City of Phoenix Public Transit Department/RPTA. What I remember most was that she was an incredibly proud, devoted and loving Mom. Her face just lit up when she talked about her beloved Melissa. Melissa was clearly the light of her life. Diane was a bright, capable and very funny colleague. My heart goes out to all of her family, especially her Mom and her precious Melissa. It is a tragedy that such a fine lady left this life so young. The only solace is that she is with the Lord now and forever. Melissa, I am so sorry for your loss.

I didn't know your mom but I know you were really close.  She raised a wonderful daughter and I'm sure she was very proud of you.  You are in my thoughts and prayers Mo.

We were neighbors back at the Orangewood Apts. back in l972. You played with my girls, Cheri and Debbie and went to the Orangewood School, for a few months together. So sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers, go out to the entire Carroll family. Cathie Kirk-Phoenix,AZ

Thanks for all the good times I've had with you and your family.  Your Mother is one of my best friends and you always made me feel like a part of the family.  I have a lot of great memories and one in particular is our trip to Disneyland - remember when it poured rain!  But Disney is always prepared for anything and graciously sold us those rain ponchos.  We were drenched but had such a good time!  You will be missed by everyone who crossed your path.
Sincerely - Alice

I miss you so much mom. The girls keep asking to call you. Please talk to them.

Diane, 
When I think back on the years we were raising our daughters together as single moms, I always smile.. Because the first thing I remember is your laughter, your smile, your joy. You always made me laugh and these memories continue to bring a smile to my face even today as I feel such a profound loss. I was privileged to be a part of your life and your family has always been so loving to Britt. Thank you for accepting her as a part of your wonderful family. Your legacy lives on in your beautiful daughter and granddaughters. You will be missed...

You are all in our thoughts & prays.  Dave, Ellen, Matthew, & McKenzie Dulas

My heart and prayers are with you and your family always...  I didn't know Diane very well but I do know she raised a beautiful smart and dear friend to me.  She is in a good place with god. <3

Diane,
So may wonderful memories come to my mind when I think of you and your family.  All the fun times we shared on trips from dance competitions to Disneyland. You were like a second mom to me and I will always cherish those memories. Love you guys with all my heart!

Mommy it's only been 1 day and 1 day too many. My heart is broken & I am so lost without you. Please help guide me into the path you have always wanted. I need you now more than ever to help me be the Mother you always were. My heart is broken & I need your help. I miss you mommy.

Our prayers are that you will sense God's comfort and love in a powerful way. We will miss Diane. Love to think of the joy she is experiencing - can't wait to see her again!

Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this sad time. May God comfort you and help you to find peace.

Love,
Shauna, Rachel, MiLee, Crist, and Cati

Dear Diane, I'm broken hearted without you.  I know that you are with Jesus, but somehow, selfishly I'd rather have you here with us.  There is SO much that I will miss about you: you are my travel buddy, my "twin".  You are my captive audience to my twisted humor, you are my sounding board.  You loved your family so much and your daughter and granddaughters were your pride and joy.  I love you.  Save a place for me in heaven; I'll be there soon.
