I only met Dianne once at a cocker Specialty dog show. We became friends thanks to a Cockerfriends email list. Dianne was a warm caring lady who was a pleasure to meet. She raised some beautiful sweet cocker furkids. I am sure they are together again along with Tommy. She will be missed. Condolences and prayers for Audrey, Rebecca and Rocco too. Losing your mom is especially difficult. I pray the good memories fill their hearts to help ease the pain. Prayers also for Lee as she lost her very special Sisterfriend.
I will miss your laughs when I would do your hair! U was such a sweet lady! U will be missed!
I am remembering that sweet, dedicated Dianne who helped her church out by volunteering to be an assistant in VBS.
She volunteered for 20 little ones, 1,2,3 grade. I can see her in her bright green VBS
t-shirt, sorting papers and the day’s craft activities, eager to help and show love.
What a beautiful, lasting memory!

Dianne and I met over 35 years ago on a cocker spaniel board. We had a connection that never ended. She always said we were sisters. We had emails, cards, phone calls and visits. Our husbands were great friends We went to South Carolina spring and fall for years. They were with us at Disney on our 25th anniversary and shared a chalet in Smokey Mountains.
After our husbands died we stayed in touch with daily phone calls and a visit.
She was my sister, my best friend and we couldn't have been closer.
I miss her daily phone calls, her laugh, friendship and love,
.I am so thankful and blessed God brought her into my life.
My thoughts and prayers are with Audrey and Rebecca, whom I love.
I pray God will comfort them and watch over them.
I pray for Rocco, her last cocker spaniel who is probably waiting for mom to come home. I am glad he is with Rebecca,
As for favorite memory there are many, One is the luau we did with Dianne and Tommy, Rebecca and Rob and friends at Spartanburg. Decorations, Hawaiian leis, bonfire and food. So much fun.

Dianne is the mother of my sweet daughter-in law, Audrey. We spent many family holidays and events together and i will always remember how much fun she was to be with. One of my favorite memories is the time she challenged me to make a cake that was on the cover of a magazine. It was a very daunting task,and she was so surprised when I presented it to her. We also shared a love of dogs and she even knitted a sweater for my small yorkie for Christmas. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother to Colin and Josh who will feel a great void in their life. I will miss her very much as well, especially on Mother’s Day when we would share it with our children so no one would be without their Mom on that special day. I will grieve her loss with the family and my love and support go out to them during this difficult time.
