Condolences & Memories (27 entries)

• Diana and I worked together at Laidlaw. She was a true team player and was easy & fun to work with. Diana had a warm, encouraging and welcoming manner with children which drew them to her so that they always enjoyed working with her. Diana always spoke fondly and proudly of her three girls and Roy. I will keep you all in my thoughts. - Posted by: Liann Pelser (Worked together at Laidlaw School.) on: Oct 20, 2014

• I lived down the street from Diana also, but on Kingston Crescent. Our group of friends had such fun - Diana was a very kind person and I was fortunate to have her as a good friend growing up. I am so saddened to hear the news of Diana's passing, my thoughts and prayers go to her family and friends. - Posted by: Laura Skagfeld-Waters (school friend) on: Oct 19, 2014

I know that you all have been blessed with a wonderful bond that will help you through this sad time. - Posted by: Diane Amos () on: Oct 19, 2014

• I met Diana back in 1984 when I started to work with Dr. Dillon. We had so much in common, being the same age and raising daughters, that our frequent lunches would end close to dinner time! (We always picked places with free parking after the lunch exceeded the street parking time limit once!). I will miss her lovely smile, and her listening ear. She was a dear friend, and such a trooper over her health issues the last while. She was so proud of her girls, and I know that they will make her proud. So sorry that I won't be at the service, as I am traveling in the US. Know that Wes and I are thinking of you all.

• Our thoughts and prayers to Roy and family. - Posted by: Gloria, Wayne Warkentin (friends at the lake) on: Oct 17, 2014

• Hard to start this - there just are no words - I have tried three times to start writing and just can't easily find any words that can express how tragic and sad this is. Diana was a co-volleyball- mom with me when our daughters (Heather & Sarah), played volleyball together. We spent so many weekends sitting up in the bleachers, working the canteen, driving the highways, grabbing coffees, chatting, and watching our girls play volleyball. Diana was always easy to be with, easy to talk to, and party with - I always remember how Diana and Roy had a blender with them in the hotel and would be making frozen margaritas for all the parents! We had a lot of fun together. I am sure this is an incredibly difficult loss to bear. My thoughts have been with you since I heard the news. My sincere condolences.

• Diana lived down the road from me on Kingston Row when we were children. We attended Windsor and Glenlawn together. We spent many happy hours together playing at each other's homes when we were young children. Many a happy birthday party was celebrated together in those years. Sadly, as time went on and we reached our high school years we grew apart but the memories are always there. Diana I shall always remember your beautiful smile and your trademark long, wavy blonde hair. Rest peacefully. My condolences to the family during this difficult time. - Posted by: Debra Stansfield (nee Bayes) (elementary and high school mate) on: Oct 16, 2014

• Remember When! The first time we met at VB. All the sailing parties. Our big lobster dinner at Norm's cottage. All the prime rib dinners at Roy's dad's cottage & at your home. When I went with you to find your wedding gown we knew it was the one. When you married the love of your life Roy. How proud you were of all your girls when they were born. How proud you are of them to be young women now. We will miss your smile, your phone conversations, our birthday suppers together and all the good times we had. Luv ya. Girls always remember your MOM will always be there for you she will always be watching over you. You will know in memories that she is still around. You will laugh you will cry.
