I was so saddened when I heard the news of Diana’s passing.
I knew Diana and Aaron for several years as we were co-workers at Ft. McDowell.
Diana was such a hard working, considerate and joyful person, who would listen and help anyone who needed it.
Although I lost contact with her since my retirement, she was the type of person that will always be remembered.
My deepest condolences to Aaron, his children and his father in law.

Words cannot express how much Diana will be missed here on earth. She was a very good friend. A kind, giving & loving person. It was such a pleasure to get to work with her all those months. Our time together was way too short.
I was so shocked & saddened by her passing. I look forward to seeing her again in the Presence of our Lord.
My deepest condolences & prayers go out to Aaron & the rest of Diana’s family.
