Diane was such a kind, sweet person and always an inspiration. I loved seeing the adventures on her bike and the updates on her home. She truly loved life.

Sadly, I won't be able to attend the celebration. Please know that I will be thinking of her and her family during this time.

I only learned today of this! I am so sad for us all. I was Diane’s next door neighbor in the Venetian. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets together, cocktails and our long, long talks. She adored her girls and the grandchildren were her life. I have such fond memories and I am so sorry for your loss. 💔

Diane was such a special lady. I was so happy to visit her at her beautiful “beachy” home.  She always had a smile and she was so happy. She treated everyone with so much love. We have a lost a  great friend and a loving mom to her girls, who she was so proud of  but we have gained an angel in Heaven.  Diane will live on in so many hearts ❤️

My favorite dental patient ❤️. She truly had a heart of gold. Enjoying a cocktail hour together after work. Diane will always hold a special place in my heart and will be missed greatly. — with Sarah Fusco

Diane and I shared the same birthday. One of my funniest memories of her is when we went to a local fair at maybe age 10. There was a clown there who guessed people's birthdays and who was surprisingly accurate. He did get one of our birthdays right, I don't remember which of us went first. But we were thrilled to fool him on his second guess because it never occurred to him that we had the same birthday! I also remember driving to Morris Knolls everyday with Diane, Andrea Castrucci, and Melody Allen - in my father's bright orange convertible Mustang! Lately I really enjoyed her cheery beachy Facebook posts. She clearly loved living in Florida sooo much. She will be missed.

My sincere sympathy to Diane’s 3 daughters and grandchildren. I only knew Diane when she moved to New Smyrna, but felt I knew her a lot longer. I called her my partner in crime. I am a Leo also and we shared that and many other things that we had in common. You are missed!
