A few of the kind words received from Di’s friends :- Di was a very special friend and colleague and it was a privilege to have her as one of the team. Di was such a character and will be greatly missed. Think of the fun and laughs you’ve had together over the years. Raise a glass and laugh at something silly you both did. My love and hugs to you and a kiss blown in the wind to my dear friend Di. Di was so lively and a joy to be around. It meant a lot to us to be reminded of Di’s strength of character, her wit and sense of humour and to share some happy memories. Di certainly lived a full life and was loved very much. Di was an incredible lady with a great spirit and of course an excellent sense of humour. We have all lost a friend who will be greatly missed. It’s hard not to notice that the world is a smaller and dimmer place without Di’s expansive, irreverent and joyous self to fill it. We will always remember Diane cheerful and in love with life. Always similing with a great sense of humour. Di’s confidence, positivity, sense of adventure and humour was to be admired. It was a delight to have been part of her life and to have experienced the fun. Di will be greatly missed but never forgotten always in my memory and in my heart. So sad. She was a lovely lady. Di’s love of life and determination to enjoy every moment of it is a lesson for us all. Diane was full of courage, sincerity, fun and joy and touched the lives of many here at The Royal Marsden. Di was such a special person who will be greatly missed. We are thinking of the happy time we’ve spent together. Di was a lovely person full of life and fun. Words cannot express our sorrow and sadness at loosing such a warm generous and loving friend. Di was an incredible woman who brought such fantastic energy everywhere she went. Di was a lovely woman and such good company. We will always remember Di as the most colourful, funny, generous person.
