KT May 2, 2023, 9:14 pm Feeling so sad on the loss of the nicest person one could ever meet. Diane was a special person. I didn't know her well, but she was so good to my grandsons, (the Rippel boys) that cut her bushes and did some favors for her. She had a big heart and shared her kindness. Rest in Peace to this sweet lady. Sincerely, Kathy Tumilty
RB May 3, 2023, 1:45 pm My thoughts and prayers to the Duello and Buckingham family. I was glad to have known Diane, as we did joke,seems like forever. Couldn't ask for a better friend. Sad to say we hadn't talked for awhile. You're free. Rest now.
