Tallahassee, Fl Friday, July 1, 2011 I was sorry to read about your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. It's a bit sad that this event triggered communication. Odd as it may seem, the first thing I remembered when I saw your name was how in college you hated to have your toothpaste tube crunched in the middle. I have fond memories of those days though they seem quite far away. JarretCathy and Denny Landsteiner

To all of Dianna's family I wish you my sincere sympathy and pray you will find comfort in the many happy memories you have of your wife, mother and sister. God needed another angel and come down and got Dianna and she is now at peace with Jesus. May you all lean on Him through these difficult days ahead. She was so loved my so many people.
