My heart is absolutely broken by this news. We had lost touch for a while after we both left Connecticut, but had been able to catch up on Facebook from time to time. I was so blessed to have had Dianell as a neighbor and friend for a few years. The memories of our times hanging at the apartment or out and about will always be treasured.

There are no words that can truly express my Heartfelt Sorrow that you’ve been called home so early in this life. But over the years I’ve come to learn that the Lord doesn’t make any mistakes. Your work is finished here on earth. Well done Thou good and Faithful Servant. You’ve been Faithful over these things. Come on up a little higher, and I will make you a Ruler over many more. This is the Promise that the Lord has given. May God Bless and keep you and the family. In times like these. 🙏🏿❤️😘 Love you.

Diane, I go out everyday to say prayers. I ask god why you? The answer I have received every time is because he needed you more and your so loved and your seeing from up above how truly beautiful you were inside and out. You were a gift in many lives and I may had only gotten close to you over the past several months but know one thing. You were very special and loved by me and that’s why everyday I saw you and would leave I made sure I said I love you. And I met it. You know know the love you had done here and your another angel looking after many. Keep your sister and boys strong honey. Miss u so much diane. You’re one of a kind in all of the most amazing ways. Absolutely beautiful inside and out. Love you so much sweet angel up there. Xoxo
