Ms. Dimas you were a light to us and everyone who came across your path. Thank you for the lasting impact you had on our lives. You will never be forgotten. Rest in peace sweet angel. ❤️

So sorry to hear of Diana Dimas passing. What a shock. I met her briefly after mowing a neighbor's yard. She asked if I could mow her yard. I did her yard a couple of times. The short time I had a conversation with her, I could tell right away that she had a kind and compassionate nature about her. She seemed to be a genuine, down to earth and giving person. She will be missed by all who knew her. She is living in Eternity, in Heaven now.

Ms. Dimas was so much more than a mentor to me. She was an advisor, a listening ear, a huge part of my journey into pharmacy, and most importantly, a dear friend. I met my “Pink Lady” when I was just 18 years old and trying to find my way. During some of the most difficult years of my college education, her office became a home and a safe place. Her hugs were genuine, her smile and laugh were infectious, and she had an extraordinary way of making people feel heard, cared for, and loved. She is also the reason I met one of my closest friends, Alex, a friendship I will forever be grateful for. That was simply who Ms. Dimas was. Her personality was larger than life. She brought people together and filled every room she entered with warmth, laughter, and joy. Last year, I unexpectedly ran into her in the hallway at UIW. What could have been a quick hello turned into hours of conversation, and it felt as though no time had passed at all. I had the privilege of telling her about the life and career that the 18-year-old girl she once encouraged had built. I told her about becoming a pharmacist, getting married, and the dreams I was still quietly working toward. I will forever be grateful for those hours because I had the opportunity to show her that her investment in me mattered. I was heartbroken when I received the call from my mother, who was at the hospital with her cousin Amy and Ms. Dimas’ family, and learned just how serious her illness had become. Even now, I am still in shock. It is difficult to comprehend that someone whose presence always seemed so big, warm, and full of life is no longer here. So much of the pharmacist and the woman I became was shaped by her encouragement and her belief in me, from the 18-year-old girl who was simply trying to find her way to the 35-year-old woman I am today.

There will never be another Ms. Dimas

My condolences to Diana's family and friends. I was blessed to work alongside Diana for many years and I can say that her life made a positive lasting impact not only on me, but on her students and colleagues as well. She truly cared so much about serving students and contributing to their success. May the Lord bless her family and friends with peace, grace, strength, and love during this difficult time.

My deepest condolences to her family and friends during this difficult time. The UIW community and her colleagues will truly miss her, and we will always remember the lasting impact she had on this university. May she rest in peace.

To Diana's Family and Friends,

You were the stability when I was anxious and the calm when I was in an abyss. I will now have to look inside myself to find you. Our time together was always an event of mishaps and laughs. Everything seem to be harder and took longer than necessary. It just the way it was in our lives. We found the humor in it and powered on. Like you told me, Dedee you are the best sister in the whole wide world. Rest in peace my beautiful angel.

Diana, 
Growing up so close to your sister Petra, has allowed me the  joy and pleasure of seeing you grow into an extraordinary woman. 
I loved your fantastic dry sense of humor and sharp wit. I was in awe of your passion for music and fanatical devotion to Tori Amos! 
My heart aches that you have left us -
But I know your memory lives on with all of us who knew and loved you. 

Love, Laura

Diana,  you will be missed. Thank you for your guidance and support throughout the years. I ended up on a career path I never anticipated and could not be more thankful for the work I do. It was you who introduced me to that path and I enjoy every minute of it. Thank you for seeing potential in me that I did not know existed. May you Rest In Peace.

Diana will be so missed at UIW. She was a bright light for all of us there.  Sending you all prayers and comfort.

Rest in peace beautiful lady.
I enjoyed our time together as coworkers at UIW. You will be deeply missed.  
Condolences to your family and friends.

We are so grateful for the fine generous work she did at the University of the Incarnate Word.  May God bring all who loved her comfort and peace.  With prayers and sympathy, Sr. Martha Ann

You were the best mentor, friend and cheerleader. Thank you for helping me navigate college and pharmacy school. You will truly be missed.

Ms. Dimas was such an incredible, wise, beautiful woman. Her smile would always cheer me up the second I saw it. I have so many memories with her inside her pink office. Though we may not have spoken in several years she helped me get through some of the toughest times in my life. She pushed me when I thought I couldn’t get through school, she helped me believe in myself. She laughed with me, hugged me tight when I would cry, and told me that I was capable and knew I could do it. I can proudly say I finished school and got my PharmD, I am now a Pharmacist. For that, I am forever grateful. May her beautiful soul rest in peace.

I had the privilege to be introduced to Diana during my college years by her sister Petra. I immediately became aware of her love for song and dance. Diana, Petra  and I would dance many nights away celebrating our love for The Cure, Depeche Mode, New Order and whatever dance music was in vogue. Diana helped me polish off that dance floor every time without fail. She challenged my stamina as she was an avid dancer. 
Thank you Diana for being in my life at the right time. For bringing laughter and endless joy to a youth I had the privilege to share with you. Your infectious smile will blaze in my memory every time “our music’ plays. 
You memory will forever be a blessing!
