I met Diana twice and respected her love of the Arts. I am delighted she was honored with her named day. The nucleus of those in Elmhurst who faithfully expanded our City physically and culturally will attract many people. I am proud to have known her but saddened it was at a transitional time in my life or we might have worked together. I believe she appeared in the Elmhurst Children´s Theater´s production of Ahmad and the Night Visitor´s with another great contributor to our City-Jack Hirst of Four Seasons Beauty Salon. I know it has been awhile since she passed. but my friendship with John and Reva and Carol (whom I acted in several Hospital Follies) prompted me to recall all with such affection.

I have known Diana ever since she was Diane in high school. We were friends since freshman year and she attended my wedding in 1954. It was a shock to hear of her death. The last time I saw her was in 2002 at our 50th high school class reunion from IC. We had spoken a couple of times in the years hence. God bless her and I know she is safely home with Him.

Her large and loving family are a testimony to what a special, giving woman she was. Her efforts for promoting art and music will continue to thrive. Our thoughts are with you today and in the days ahead. Steve and Cindy Adkisson, Kristin, Kyle, Tron, Roxy and Rae

Diana and I have had many long and unique conversations that I will always remember. In the last 2 years we've gotten to know each other fairly well. She was an inspiration; her strength, determination, confidence and challenge to life will be unforgettable.
She was very proud of her children and grandchildren and recognized the unique qualities of each one. I will miss her and our talks, and sharing our grandchildren with funny stories and keen observations. She desired the best for everyone as she understood it to be.
May she Rest In Peace.

I have many fond memories of Diana-She was one of my mother's dearest friends and a truly amazing woman. My deepest sympathy to her entire family. (I have some photos of Diana though the years if anyone would like). Cindy (Kahn) Avers
