Dear Amy and family,
RJ and I are thinking of you and your family. I will say a prayer for you. I remembered your moms big, bright smile as soon as I heard the news of her passing.

I was glad I got to meet Diane since Ashley worked for her at Bath & Body Works. Diane was a good role model, mentor and friend. She will be greatly missed! Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
Our sympathy and condolences to John and his family on their tragic loss. We will be thinking of them.
I did not know Diane personally, but I knew her as a customer at Bath and Body Works. I had wondered if she had quit that job. Yesterday I saw her obituary in the newspaper and was sadened to learn of her death. She was such a joyful person in the store, and had a very infectious laugh. I know she is going to be missed by all the lives that she touched.
Sincerely,
Donna C. Hoffman

Amy,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. I had such a fun time meeting her when she was in Phoenix a few years ago to visit you. She was such a nice lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and may God give you the strength to get through the difficult days ahead, but also to hold on to and cherish all of the memories that you had together.
To the family, I am sorry for your loss, my prayers and thoughts will be with you all. Life long friend and classmate of 1971.
LaGesse Family, you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I always loved running in to Diane at Bath and Body Works in Lawrence. It was a joy to be greeted with her big smile, laugh, and infectious personality.

John, Jenny, & Amy,
Phil, Grant, Halie, Trevor, and I offer our deepest sympathy to you during this sad time. It’s sad that we’ve lost contact over the years, but that doesn’t lessen the incredible loss you’ve suffered. We all remember the good times back in Newton and hope you can hold on to those memories too. Diane was a wonderful friend to all of us.
John & Family,
Although we didn’t have the pleasure of knowing Diane, we offer our thoughts and prayers for all. Only time heals the loss of a loved one, but remembering the good things will take over as each day passes. God bless you all.KZLB2
