I love my grandma with all of my heart and soul. The other night I was driving home from her house and my mind was flooded with memories. I looked into the sky to clear the tears from my eyes, and there she was- a shooting star flew across the sky. She will always be with us, but she is able to be with her other loved ones now! I love you Grandma Diana.

I worked with Elaine at Dee and Diana's in Murray for 5 years starting '68. She was a wonderful woman and a great friend. Sometimes she was like a mother and but, we could talk about anything. A wonderful woman and a fantastic life. I am sorry for your loss. You have fantastic memories to keep forever.

Elaine IS loved by a marvelously animated family who carry on her terrific energy and remarkable exuberance for life and living! In the short time i had the privilege of getting to know Grandma Diana, i learned volumes! Her genuineness and candid honesty are two characteristics which beautifully balanced her elegance and charm. She is with us everyday!
