"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile"
Those words without a doubt describe Diane and the life she lead. The lessons she learned growing up in a large family served her well in life. Not that they were all perfect, but few could rival her strong will. Just as many could attest to her work ethic, generosity and positive attitude. As a mother of three she managed the household while maintaining a full-time job as a beautician.  After cutting back on hours at a salon, she took on child care at home. Always mindful of family needs and wants, constantly putting them first. When faced with cancer, one of life's greatest challenges, her faith and life values were her support system.  Never were the words "why me" heard coming from Diane. As usual, her only thoughts were about others. The example she set while enduring this terrible disease speaks volumes of the kind of person we were fortune enough to have for wife, mother, sister, relative or friend.

The family would like to thank Dr. William Guenther, Jennifer Giebel APNP, Nancy Gudex APNP, and all of the staff at Fox Valley Hematology and Oncology as well at the staff on the 7th Floor at Thedacare Regional Medical Center Appleton, and Thedacare at Home for their compassionate care. 

Know:
Your presence we will miss, Your memories we will treasure, Forgetting you never.
This is not good bye but rather see you again!
