Diane was one of those special people!!When my parents, Elmer and Vaneta Schelske went to the Regency to live, she was there for them and for us...She often told us how much they meant to her. Mom was her teacher in elementary school. Because I was older and went away, I do remember Diane as that cute little girl who lived down the street..but then she grew up and became a care-giver to Mom and Dad..I pray that she found peace and that she will be missed by all who knew her.

Diane was my special friend at RHS - we graduated together. I didn't realize she went to Stewart's School of Hairstyling - so did I! When I gave birth to my first child on March 20, 1970 Diane was working at the Chamberlain Hospital and came in to visit me and went on to tell me about my difficult delivery!! It had been years since we seen each other. I last seen Diane at our 20th High School Reunion. She kept everyone laughing in high school with her antics not to mention all those fun memories of our Senior Skip Trip to Minneapolis - what fun we had!My condolences to your husband, sons and grandchildren - rest in peace my friend.
