My Aunt Diane holds a special place in our hearts with many treasured memories. After years away, we moved to Ottawa and we had the good fortune to get to know her and more of the family. She had the kindest heart and generous nature that's so very rare. Condolences to all the family and friends. So sorry we couldn't get there from the UK to be with you.

Diane was a very committed member of our church- St Mary's Carleton Place. For years she dedicated herself to making beautiful rosaries given out in our church and also sent to different parts of the world. This she did with dedication and love to God and to our Blessed Mother Mary. May the angels of God receive her holy soul in eternity.
Diane has been part of my family for 16 years. She was like a Mother to me. I am so happy that our Lord put her in my life. I met Diane when counseling her on the death of Alvin, and later Stephanie. I invited her to join the Rosary group I was involved in and Diane really enjoyed making Rosaries. She unselfishly would go to the beach on Easter Sunday and hand out between 200 - 500 Rosaries. What a beautiful mission for Mother Mary.
Diane will be sadly missed by my family and our Rosary group.
May you rest in the gentle arms of our Blessed Mother Mary, and Our Lord and Savior.
