"I am so sorry to hear about your wife and mother. Steve, thank you so much for calling me. Kids, I remember you when you were very young as I was your moms supervisor. She, Charlotte, Ophelia, and I had so much fun and we still kept in contact. I know you will miss her and I will too. Please take care of yourselves and let's remember the good times. All my love to all of you. Sally Myers"

Tributes
"I worked with Diana at Ravenwood Care Center during the 1980's. We spent much time together, of course during, and also after work. Diana had had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone. I am shocked to hear of her passing. She has been on my mind to try to find her! To Steve and the family, you have my deepest heartfelt sympathies. No words that I say can ease the pain in your hearts. Hold the memories of her tight. She will always be with you. You all are in my prayers. The world will be a less happy place with Diana away. Love to you all! "
