Dianne was a good friend and one of the first persons I could call when I needed prayers. She would often end our phone calls by reciting the Our Father. She had the cutest sense of humor. May she rest in peace. If she isn’t in heaven now, I am sure she will be there shortly. She was truly a saint here on earth. Gods bless the Grant family. Marilyn Vorsanger
So sorry to hear this news. I met Dianne about 40 years ago when I volunteered to work on one of the first Share Christmas projects. She was so kind and funny, too. In later years, our paths would cross at mass or around town. She truly was a loving, caring, and genuinely nice lady! My prayers and condolences to her family.
My deepest condolences to Gil and the Grant family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam / May she rest in peace.
MB- Sending all of our love!!!
Dear Vince and Family
I was so sorry to hear about Diane’s passing.
She was a great lady and always so attentive to those in need of care and she was always so friendly and fun.
May she rest in peace and may God’s grace be with all of you in your loss.

Dear Grant Family, I am so sorry for the loss of your lovely Diane. She was a true ray of sunshine when she would bring communion to our ailing mother, Jacque Walsh. I’d love hearing her stories about her children and grandchildren. I hope your memories and faith bring you comfort. Carol Walsh Rosentreter
