    I met Dianna at Campfire Girls' Camp (Rio Roxo) on Lake Texoma the summer after our fifth grade. Later, I had the pleasure and privilege of knowing her throughout high school, graduating in the same class. We have attended some of the same luncheons and I reconnected with her again. She was so kind and so thoughtful and I will always cherish her friendship. Anne Chumbley McGrew

    Where do I begin? You are the best aunt a nephew could ask for. I still wonder why you are no longer here. But rest easy. We will make sure King Richard is taken care off.

    Best mom, always feisty and very giving! She would always have our back, and we could call her anytime for anything. I still can't believe she's gone, she will always be loved and never forgotten.

    Dianna and I were friends from grade school at Wakefield Elementary. We lived in the same neighborhood and spent a lot of time together as children. Then, we went to different middle schools, but back together at Sherman High and graduated together. A true childhood friend and one of the sweetest and most kind people I ever knew. I will miss her. Prayers for her family. Donna McAllister Puyear
