Dear Emmett and family,
Rich and I send our deepest sympathy at this time of sadness and loss. Diane was a very courageous and vibrant woman who really stood out to me when I first moved here. Rich and I will always remember both your and Diane’s graciousness in welcoming us to this community.
Our deepest condolences….

Dear Emmett and Family, We are so sorry to hear of Diane’s death. She was a wonderful friend. Always had a caring thought for others. It was great to keep track of your family and compare,”what the kids are up to now” stories. We were friends through Delta Gamma and enjoyed the wine tastings and Bar-B-Q’s at your home. Also the Light Opera times of the past. May your days be blessed with a grace and peace that you all so deserve. Best to All, Pat and Daryl Jonson
Robin and family members,
Our best wishes are with you in this often very difficult time. My mother lived to be 93, so I hope I have her
genes.

As we read your Mom’s obituary, we saw a small glimpse of a beautiful angel on this Earth. She has touched many lives in many ways and has given us all a gift of her beautiful daughter. Know that her spirt is always with you as she watches from Heaven. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all at his time. Debbie and Emile Soulier. Lafayette , La
My condolences to you and your family, Emmett. Beautiful lady inside and out and thanks to both of you for always helping out Formerly RLOCas House Manager or ushers and she’ll be missed, I’m sure. See YOU on Friday services.
We have wonderful memories of “grandparenting” the Salley sons together with Diane and Emmett. Diane lived her life lovingly, fully, and with great spirit. Her example of courageously enjoying life while living with cancer is inspirational. She will be missed.
