Diana was my B. F. F. At laquey school. 6th, 7th, 8th grade. We had fun together talking & shearing memories. Of the good old days. Diana & John death is like the movie. The Notebook. So sad. But, so sweet. Hugs. Love you.
I knew Diana through her writing and special outreach programs. She was delightful. She came to the Stoutland Library for a Meet the Author and a book signing.
May God keep in your hearts the treasury of sweet memories. I am glad that I knew her.

We did not know John as well as Diana, but we thought so much of Diana. She had a radiant smile and was a wonderful person. She always had a kind word for everyone. Please Express our most sincere sympathy to all the family. We will praying for each one of you during the weeks ahead. This truly is a horrific tragedy.
Diana was my best friend since grade school. Such a kind, beautiful loving person. She always had a sweet smile, and a kind word for ever. My heart is broken, because I loved her so much. But I have all the beautiful cards she,sent me thru the years. And a copy of her wonderful book. I will never forget this beautiful lady, I will always keep her in my heart.
I did not know Diana but i had the pleasure of working with John at Landau. He was so kind and a hard worker . Never complaining. He was friendly and most times a smile on his face. I missed him when he left and i am sure you all will miss him too. Love and hugs during this time.
Diana was a beautiful person who loved everyone and always did good to them and for them. We think she was one of the sweetest ladies that ever lived. She is enjoying Heaven now!
Diana was a classmate our loss is heavens gain. Gene Sloan
I am saddened to hear of not only Diana's death but also of John. I was honored to meet Diana years ago when she attended Faith Pentecostal Ministries in Lebanon, MO. She always had a sweet, special spirit about her! The last time I saw her she was at Mercy Hospital where I work, and she gave me her book she had just written. I will cherish that book and remember her always. I am so sorry Leah and Melissa, this is so tragic - you will be in my thoughts and prayers. - Brenda (Wieners) Warren
So sorry for your loss. Many prayers for all the family for peace comfort and strength.
