I am really sorry to hear of Diane’s passing. We worked together for years and admired her compassion for and dedication to the people she worked with. My condolences to the Westgate family for your loss.
I extend sincere condolences to the Westgate Family.
Diane and I connected years ago when YCCAC had first started operating The WAVE transportation system. Her sincerity and compassion made her the kind of person you wanted to know and work with.
May those attributes continue to be celebrated, knowing that she made a difference for the people she cared about.

Diane and I were friends in High School. She was a beautiful, sweet soul. My husband was a friend too to Ralph. They both worked at Hussey Manufacturing for awhile.
Our sympathies to the family.

Dear Tina, Nick and Reed
Your mom and I were lifelong friends and shared many memories . We started kindergarten together, attended the same schools and worked together at Sanford Housing Authority, our last job before retirement. I still have the Nativity Creche that your mom gave me at Christmas when I was 18. It’s the first Christmas decoration I take out every year and the last one I put away. I would thank her every Christmas for this Creche.
My sincere condolences to you and your families. Take heart in knowing that your Mom is at peace and is now with your Dad and Vicky.
RIP Diane
My sincere sympathies,
Sonia McGinnis
