Sam, I am so sorry to hear of Dianne's passing. I remember working with you and Dianne for a few months at Ward's back in the late 80's. You all treated me so wonderful, and I'll never forget it. Dianne was so enjoyable to visit with. I still remember the sound of Dianne and Carter's voices. Two wonderful women, and I'm so glad I met both of them.
So very sorry to hear of Dianne's passing. She was a very caring and wonderful person. My condolences to the family.
Dianne was my best friend for 44 1/2 years. I met her in January 1970 when she transferred to Baker University and was few doors from my room. It didn't take long for us to become friends and roommates . Our friends called us the Bobbsey Twins because we were always together. During college, I enjoyed weekends at her home in Kansas City. I loved her parents and her sister Suzanne . Dianne would visit my grandparents home in Sabetha, Kansas and my home in Lincoln, Nebraska. After college, we were bridesmaids in each other's wedding. Over the years, our families would meet at different locations for a visit.
For 14 years, Dianne handled her cancer with grace, dignity and a sense of humor. The last time I spoke with her in May, she said "I didn't feel well yesterday, but I think I'm better today. " There is a huge hole without her, but I know she's with The Lord. Our love and prayers to Sam and family and friends.
Cathy, Dennis and Erica Wright
