I rode the school bus with Dianna and went to Pond Grove Schol with her all the way through graduation. I'm so sorry I didn't know of Dianna's passing at the time. We literally grew up together. To her family you are all in my prayers. She's with Mike again so we know she is happy.

Dear Tweed and Boles Family, I went to high school with Diana at Rockwood and we graduated together in 1970. I will always remember her beautiful smile and kind and loving personality. I saw her only a couple of times since 1970, but remember her as a friend who always treated other very well. I will remember Bobby, David and Dennis and their families in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. To Diana's children and their loved ones, I can say your mother was a wonderful young woman throughout her school years, always supportive and ready to share a laugh or a problem. It sounds like she continued that kind of life during the past 38 years and has left a legacy that will live on through all the people she touched. May God bless you and may you replace your pain with comforting memories as time goes on.
