From Charles Deemer

I've known Diana for over 20 yrs. We met as theater folks. I once rented a room from her when Clayton and Tonya were kids. Later she directed several of my plays. We were good friends, and I had coffee with her only a few weeks ago and was happy to see how much better she seemed than the last time I visited. I thought she was moving forward. I thought she was beginning to see the possibility of a future again. I admired Diana's heart and brain. She was bright and had a first rate bullshit detector. We always laughed a lot when we got together. I'll miss her.
