Hi Jim and family, I was shocked to hear of Diane’s passing. I am so very sorry for your loss . Paul and I hope to be at her celebration of life, xo. Laurie Caldwell

So sorry to hear this sad news. I met her at Laila’s and enjoyed our conversations and her sense of humour. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May lots of happy memories sustain you through the days ahead..

Diana was a vivacious life affirming light in a at times dismal world. She brought joy to her family, friends and passengers
at A/C, and as her brother Gary’s friend, I only wish that my wife Andrea and I had been able to get to know her and her
loved one’s better. It comforts us to know she is in a better place and no longer suffering from this terrible disease. No
amount of distance and time will separate Diana from those who loved and cared for her throughout the years. God bless to all.

Jim and family. Sorry to hear about the passing of Diana . Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I had the pleasure of starting my Wardair life with Diana in our training class. She was always smiling and a very thoughtful, kind woman. Her laugh was pure and will remain in my memory. A wonderful example of a very decent human being.

I remember dinner and theatre in London, not the dinner or play but the fun and laughs because Diana was there.
I remember how you loved your garden and your wonderful laugh.
Condolences to your family, Jim, Brendan, Sabrina, Lauren, Amelia, and Elijah.

My condolences Jim, to you and your family. I always enjoyed flying with Diana and hearing about

It is with great sadness that I hear of Diana’s passing. Last time I run into her was at Garden Foods in Bolton. Her bright smile was always so uplifting.

The Palgrave neighborhood has been holding its breath and hoping the best for Diana. So sorry that she has passed. I know that she has added a vital spark to our neighbourhood and trail and will be sorely missed. Whenever she was out power walking with her earbuds and Ryley she would always pause to pass on the most passionate comments about the happenings of the area Her avid gardening advice was always appreciated. . We will miss her and pass on our sincere condolences to her family, Jim, Lauren, Brendan & Sabrina, Amelia, Elijah, , Ryley & Millie. So glad that you are part of our Palgrave neighbourhood now.

No words can express the light that was extinguished from the many people who knew and loved her and the world is a little darker now too. Now Diana can spread her own wings and fly. RIP, my friend.

The whole neighbourhood had been holding its breath and hoping for Diana. So sorry to hear of her passing. Meeting up with her on the trail while she was power walking with her headphones and Riley over the years was always fun.

I was very saddened to learn of Diana’s passing and my thoughts and prayers are with you Jim and your family and Diana’s friends who I am sure will miss her greatly. I havent flown with Diana in many years but I smile when I think of her not only because of her mischevious smile and wonderful sense of humour but because she epitomized what Maya Angelou spoke of when she said, ” People may forget what you said, people may forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”…she touched everyone who had the good fortune to know her.

I was shocked and then saddened when I heard of Diana ‘s passing. I met her and Riley on the trail a very short time ago and she seemed to be doing so well with the new treatment regime. I will always think of her when I am on the trail we met there so many times over the years and I always enjoyed talking to her. My heartfelt condolences to you JIm and your family.
