We will miss you sincerely Diane, you were some woman to say the least.
Little did I know when you became friends with my grandmother over 40 years ago after meeting her on a trip to Killarney I would be sadly writing this in memory of you.
You never know when the last time is really going to be the last time unfortunately.
Our condolences and love to all Diane’s friends and family and especially to you Kathy.
Tim, Rose, Eric, Lisa and Alan Higgins

Aunt Diane is my wonderful, devoted Godmother who never missed a birthday or holiday over 46 years! I adored her adventuresome spirit and her good cheer. I am forever grateful that she shared her love of Ireland with me, it is a gift I will continue to carry with me for the rest of my life. Rest in Peace, I love you.

Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
Good-bye, dear friend. Save a place at the table for me, we will have lunch together again someday.
