The loss of this lovely lady will be deeply felt by family and friends. Wishing her family well as they grieve this loss. I feel lucky to have spent lovely times celebrating holidays and special moments with her. We were able to talk about books and art. The most important thing we shared is our connection to her wonderful daughter, Jenny! Peace for the family during this difficult time. With warmth and love, Madhuri

For forty years I shared my life with Duane. We line danced every Wednesday at the Williwbrook Ballroom. She gave me her best books to recommend to my book group in Vegas and I did the same for her group. We talked for hours and shared every aspect of our lives. Our favorite new topic was our grandchildren . I am so sad I miss my good friend and I will miss her the rest of my life. My only happiness comes with my belief that she is walking with her beloved Rusty. Go in peace my dear friend

My heart aches for each of you as you remember Diane today. I am so grateful I had the pleasure of visiting with Diane and Dick when they came to Arizona to see Sheryl and her family. I always enjoyed our conversations. She was a beautiful lady with a big heart who adored her family, and made me feel like part of their family. Whenever I hear someone with a Chicago accent, I think of her, and I loved her noodle kugel. Diane will always have a special place in my heart. I know she will be greatly missed. She was a blessing to all of us who knew her. I pray for each of you to find strength, healing, comfort and peace through this time.
