Jerry, if I lived closer I would certainly attend. Dianne was always so sweet.
So sorry for your loss.

In loving memory of my sister, friend, and confidant.
We have shared many memories from childhood to adulthood. I will miss her dearly.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I have such nice memories of Auntie Di and all the family get togethers. I know how much she will be missed.
Auntie Di,
You are loved for the life you lead, the memories you made and love you still share.
We love you.
Love Joey, Michelle and Isabelle.
I have such good memories of Auntie Di from my childhood. All of the holidays spent with her and my cousins and with Grandma Des, picnics at Saltwater Park and all the times I spent the night at her house with Tracy. She was even more special than most aunts because she was my mom’s sister. The bond we all shared being in the same family and all of the memories will stay in our hearts forever. I am truly sorry she is gone for one great and sweet person has left this earth. All our love and thoughts are with the Paepke’s and with Dianne’s sister, my mom. We are so sorry for your loss.
God Bless,
Denise and Dale and Family
I have such wonderful memories of Auntie Di. Her laugh was something that always made me smile. I will always cherish the memories that I have with all of us getting together, the birthday parties, holidays. How about the two dogs? Snowball and Angel! She was special to me as my sponsor when I was confirmed in the church. Thank you Aunti Di! I am very sorry she has left us. She will be missed. God has a special person with him now. God Bless to Uncle Jerry, Mickey, Tracy ,Jon, and my mom, her sister also.
We love you,
Dave, Theresa, Kristen, Branden, Andrew, and Shellee
We are so sorry for your loss. You will be in our prayers.
Tracy,
My condolences go out to you and your family at this sad time.
My thoughts and prayers go to you and your family.
Sincerely,

Dear Jerry, Mick, Tracy, Jon and families:
My memories of Dianne go way back to when we grew up across the alley from each other in Riverton. Later we raised our kids together and enjoyed a wonderful friendship. Dianne leaves us with many fun, happy memories. She was always kind, generous and very sweet – the best. The love she had for all of her family will never leave; I know she will be a guardian angel on all of your shoulders. I’ve attached a poem which speaks a little to the heartache we all feel in losing her. Blessings to you.
Pat
The Lord saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So he put His arms around you
And whispered “Come with Me”.
With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away,
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
A beautiful smile at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove
He only takes the best.
It’s lonesome here without you
We miss you so each day,
Our lives aren’t the same
Since you went away.
When days are sad and lonely,
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you shisper,
“Cheer up and carry on”.
Each time we see your picture,
You seem to smile and say,
“Don’t cry, I’m in God’s keeping,
We’ll meet again someday”.
