Van, Van Jr. and Lee,
We were taken back when we heard about Diane. I loved working with her at Fort Hill and the trips we would take to Charleston annually. Diane's smile, kindness and always being so positive will stay in all of our hearts. Our love and thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry to hear this news. Diane was my sons preschool teacher for two treasured years. She was wonderful with the children and fostered a family among them that also brought the parents close together. She was a precious gift. I know you will all miss her so, but know that she was loved by so many and her gifts were so appreciated. We will be holding your family close in prayer.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Bost

Dear Van, Van Jr., and Lee,
We were shocked and saddened to hear about Diane's death. We had no idea that she was ill and regret that it has been a long time since we have run into one another here and there. Please accept our heartfelt sympathies to your family and know that we are holding you up in our prayers. We so regret that we did not get to her services to pay our respects in person. We did not realize til it was too late. Diane was always so friendly and warm to us and she cared so lovingly for our two youngest girls in preschool when we first moved here to Clemson in 1989. It was a joy to see her helping with the car riders after preschool. We are so sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Paul and Melanie Prichard, Clemson, SC.

Van and family, Not really knowing Diane, I can only know her thru the wonderful tributes others have written.
Teacher, mother, grandmother and wife (to a busy man) are attributes that are difficult to fulfill. Sounds like she was one of the BEST! May you be surrounded in your grief by the love of God and the fellowship of family and friends.

Van,Van Jr. and Lee,
Words cannot begin to tell you how sad I am about Diane. We had so many memories of laughter and fun. I loved her dearly and will miss her greatly. She loved her family and school kids with all of her heart. She was a bright spot in my day when she came for her haircut- so much fun we had. I will remember her spirit from this day forward and want y'all to know I will miss my friend greatly. I am heartbroken but my heart is full because of Diane. My prayers are with you and I love y'all very much
