Phil and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Please know that I am sending blessings and love to you all.
Dear Phil & family- my sincerest condolences for your loss. Diane was a sweet, classy lady and I enjoyed having her as a neighbor in Hamilton Crest. Take comfort in your memories. Sincerely, Lisa Guarino
Dear Phil--I'm so sorry to hear about Diane's passing. She was such a wonderful, beautiful, woman. In reading her obituary I noticed she'd been a Realtor, a fact I vaguely remembered. When I worked as a Realtor myself, I listed a house for a widower. He just couldn't bring himself to remove all the "stuff" that had been his wife's. So, with his permission, Jan Mott, Diane and I went to work and although Jan and I did pull our weight in the process of cleaning everything out, Diane was THE ONE who really knew what to do and made it all happen. That was a very happy time and I was amazed by her efficiency, creativity, and quick and clear thinking as we not only cleaned out, but staged the house for showings. She was the Bomb, Phil!
May the Lord comfort you as only He can during this time.

To Melinda and all of your family, Our hearts ache for you in your loss! We pray that God would draw you each of you close as you grieve and that He would comfort your grieving hearts as only He can do. With love, Doug and Carla Robinson
I never had the opportunity to meet Diane but i felt i knew her and just how wonderful she was by working with Phil. Phil devotes so much personal time selflessly helping his community (where i know him from), but his enduring love for Diane was always evident through his consistent words of adoration and actions of love and support for his wife. She always came first in his life.
He set a wonderful example of care and concern for a partner, and I'm sure that was driven by how special a person Diane was.
To the Bechtold family, please accept my condolences in this very difficult time.
Phil, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
