Grandma Diane was a beautiful soul. Even though she had her share of trials and tribulations she never failed to keep an upbeat attitude. She will always be remembered as a kind and loving woman. She will be missed but forever remembered fondly. Judy and Joe Pigott

Diane was the warmest, friendliest most loving cousin anyone could wish for. She welcomed us into her family and we fondly remember our visits to the USA and the time spent in her company. Sending much love to all her family from Scotland x

Mrs Hoffmann was an integral part of my teenage years. She welcomed all of Chris’s friends into her home with a warm batch of chocolate chip cookies and famous fudge and her never ending smile. She was truly one of a kind and left a lasting imprint on my heart.
