This is to all of you guys I just don’t know what to say your mom was an awesome lady and I loved her. When I would come in to get my haircut we always used to talk and laugh. Words can’t express how sorry I am for all of you. All of you please take care of yourself. She loved her kids and her grandkids so much. ????

I am so sorry to hear of Diane's passing. She always had a smile on her face and always shared stories of her children and grandchildren. Her loyal devotion to her family was with passion, enthusiasm and pure love. I remember one time after she had finished with my hair, she invited me to watch Diandra and Kenny surprise their kids with a Disney trip. It was amazing. This is what Diane was like. This is what she did. Embracing, welcoming and living life. Rest In Peace my friend. Jeanne Rauscher
