    Diane would want you to remember her with a smile as you go about your lives, inspired by having shared your part of you life with her. So be happy and make the most of all life’s gifts just as she did!
    She wanted to keep the return of her cancer private, last time it was all people wanted to talk about and she hated that! She was far more than the disease… and that’s not how she wanted to be remembered.
    Keeping it private meant it has been a shock for many. We knew it was going to end, but we didn’t know it was going to be so quick.
    Thank you all for your kind words, it is obvious how much she was loved.

    Rest in peace Diane will always remember your beautiful smile always in our hearts xx

    Sending my deepest sympathy to Greg and the girls at this sad time.
    I have special memories of my teenage years spent growing up with my friend Di, from our bike rides around the countryside to our numerous train journeys to Bath for shopping, our love of the music of the 80’s and our first trip abroad to Tunisia. These years were filled with much fun and laughter. Di continued to be a lovely friend to us all throughout her life and will be sorely missed. With much love Julia x

    Thank you for sharing a small part of your wonderful life with us.

    Our children loved your passion, help and support at school. Your love for reading was infectious and you introduced us all to the adventures of Rolo.

    I’ll always treasure your help and support for the school PTA – helping to host fun events and raise money to support the education of so many children. We’ll save a chair for you at the annual quiz.

    Shine brightly – you lived a wonderful life and left a lasting legacy with all those you touched.
