    Dianna,
    I'm so sorry to hear of your passing. I will always remember the wisdom you passed on and the example of an incredibly hard-working lady that you exemplified for me. I am thankful for the time we had both in the office and working on the cabin. The summers were hard work and well worth it for the life lessons I gained in return. Thank you for a fun trip out West and always being the eccentric you, riding a backhoe in a diamond necklace. Much love to your memory and your family!

  4. Dianna,
    I was so shocked to hear of your passing. You were one of the 4 truly instrumental nurses in my career. You were a great mentor and I will never forget the support and advice you gave me throughout school and early on in my career. I had just spoken with you a couple of weeks ago after not seeing you for a while and am truly grateful for that time we had to catch up. Thoughts and prayers to your family during this time of deep sorrow. You will truly be missed but I also know you are now resting in the arms of our Lord.
