My
deepest sympathies. I worked with Diane in Mechanicsburg and through the automation projects met again and again through
the years. She was a gentle, gracious soul always smiling and telling stories. I will miss her. May God comfort you and
bless you.

So very sorry to hear of Diane's
passing. I worked with her on ERP Procurement implementation and she was the BEST teacher! She had wisdom and patience beyond
most and always a positive attitude. I was sad when she retired because I knew I would miss vast knowledge and understanding
of a convoluted system but mostly miss her friendship. I know she fought as long and hard as she could. God has big plans
for a person like Diane so rest assured her love, teaching abilities, and peaceful demeanor will be put to good use beyond
this world. May she rest in God's loving arms. My condolences to her family and friends.
Missy _______________ So sorry
to hear this sad news. Diane was a smart, helpful and kind co-worker. Spent many wonderful hours with her at work and after
work during our long days in Annapolis working on the ERP project. She will be missed.
