When I think of Diane I smile because she was one of the most happy, genuine people I have ever met. I love the pictures because it reminds me of the times I saw her on main street Forsyth dressed up for Halloween. You will miss her always, but hold on to the good times to get you through the tough ones ahead. Sorry you didn’t have more years.

I just found out my sister in law passed away. Funny thing I was just thinking of her the other day. She was always nice to me and I was thinking of her fry bread she used to make. She always called me sissy and sis. I was there when George and her got married, I was 12. I love you George and I’m so sorry for your loss. Take care and God Bless.
Cathy Byron says
George, Daniel and Mark –
My heart and prayers are with all of you. Diane will always be remembered in this household as the lady who came to school every Halloween dressed like a witch carrying a big black pot filled with trick or treat candies for all the kids as she went room to room. Her smile and giggle wiped any fear away. She had quite a collection of costumes, but the one that was distinctive to her was the dance hall girl get up that she wore in parades related to the Hardin Reenactment. A generous and caring soul reached its reward when she slipped to the other side. Treasure the memories. The goodbyes are so tough – but the relief from the pain and suffering is a blessing.
Debra Nesbitt says
Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Diana was a wonderful person, mama enjoyed her company. Please give hugs to all our loved ones in Heaven, ❤️🌹♥️, Deb Wilhelm Nesbitt
