Well lovely, What can I say? Dianna you were one in a million and more. From the day we met in September 2008, we just clicked and from then on a strong bond formed that grew stronger as the years went on. By marriage we were Sisters in law, by heart Sisters and by choice Friends. You used to say we were Sisters by other mothers. When me and David moved to Chatham, I said the best thing was meeting and getting to know you and Chrisie. We saw each other often in those few months and emailed/texted regularly. When we moved back to Yorkshire we continued to keep in fairly regular contact, mainly via email/text. Then WhatsApp and Fb and popping down to visit with Mum. The brothers Chrisie and David definitely kept us on our toes with one or the other in hospital etc! I am truly grateful and Blessed that I had you in my life, for your love, care, support, compassion, encouragement the list is endless. Even more so, these last 2 years after David's diagnosis and then going to heaven followed 7 months later by Mum. Our daily messages, once or multiple times a day. Occasional phone calls. Of course there's so much more that could be said. Dianna thankyou for been you, the world needs more people like you, it would be a much brighter and happier place. You were unique. For now, as always til we meet again. Goodnight, sweet dreams, loads a love, lots of big hugs. Take care, God bless have a blast in Heaven! You are missed beyond words. Also love and hugs from Stuart and the furbabies. Xxxxxxxxx I plan on visiting Chrisie etc and will be there for both Chrisie and Julie.

There was always something Special and different about you which I noticed since the first time I was privileged to meet you. I found out heaven had endued you with what the Bible calls a Great Grace!!. It gives one the ability to do unusual things. And you did very unusual things that are not common . You were bold, very loving, especially to your God and to your husband Chrissy. You were very welcoming to myself and Naomi. It was a great honour to welcome you to my home for an African meal...... not sure though how much you enjoyed it. You and Chrissy were such match made in heaven. Together you lit up anywhere you stepped into. We will forever miss you. Thank you for all your kind words and gestures towards me and Naomi. And always willing to chat to me. Thank you for giving me the privilege to lead you to Christ whom you served, and the privilege to lead the service for your final exit. We look forward to seeing you again before the throne of Grace at the resurrection . Sleep well Diana. Indeed a woman that fears the Lord is to be praised!!!!! You did. (Proverbs 31 vs 30). Nas and Naomi.

Will forever be grateful for the love, care and advice you gave to us all Auntie Dianna. You always lit up the room, both Mum and Dad loved you to pieces, and so did the rest of us. Rest in eternal peace, until we meet again.

Remembering Dianna with sincere love and respect. Will always remember your kindness and sense of humour, your caring ways and the many long chats we had putting the world to rights, The times I'd come home from work or come out side to call the kids in and find them with you and Chrissy. I know each and everyone of them loved you to bits. I remember the day you moved away and didn't want to leave the stone planters for the new people. There are still in my garden and when they now flower with the same bulbs you planted in them a little piece of you will still be here. You will be sadly missed and heaven will have gained a true angel. All our love xxx

I'll always have fondest memories of Dianna . Coming in to have her hair cut . With white /grey hair , always wanted pink or blue streaks and the most spiky hair I could do . She said she wasn't ready to fade into the grey hair gracefully. Many times we laughed together. And many times she put me in my place if I got to cheeky . When she moved away I missed doing her crazy hair . With love rest in peace Dianna .

Remembering Di with love and affection. Spent hours chatting to her sometimes over our garden fences, other times in the garden with wine and friends. A lady with a big heart abs ready laugh, and always up for a challenge. She will make the all Angels in heaven smile. Miss you Di. Xx

I met Dianna many years back via 'fat club' the name we joked about, we became good friends. Dianna was very young at heart, travelling up to London every day for work enjoying the last year before her retirement. Her age was not a reflection of how she was. She had such an energy, she put me to shame. We enjoyed line dancing (even if out of sync to everyone else, but would always laugh so much at ourselves. ) Enjoyed swimming sessions, even though neither of us were strong swimmers and mainly stayed in the baby pool, laughing putting the world to rights. Having long chats on the phone, Get togethers eating food, the thing that bought us together in the first place😉. Our last telephone conversation was with her, Chrissie and anyone else at the bus stop, she was telling me two busses hadn't turned up when they were supposed to. Anyone else would be furious. She was still laughing and joking. She was an energetic lady with such a fun vibe about her RIP Dianna, our adventures and laughs will live on in my memories. 🙏💖' Xx

At Gillingham United Reformed Church we remember Dianna with love and affection. We were blessed to know her and remember her contribution to life in the family of the local church with thanksgiving. Later in the year at our special service to remember loved ones we will light a candle in memory of Dianna.
