I am so sorry. Diana was a beautiful person. I was best friends with Noreen and Diana would often be with us. What fun we all had in the basement with that jukebox! Rest in peace sweet Diana. My condolences and love to the Castellano family.
Jaime, I am so so sorry for your loss, you and your family will be in my prayers. Hugs and we love you.
Eternal rest grant unto Aunt Diana, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace, Amen.
This makes me so sad, as Dianna was such a wonderful person.
I will cherish the memories of sharing stories of my dad Willy with her , while drinking Johnny Walker Blue.
Rest In Peace Dianna, you will be sorely missed.
Jaime , I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was always a ray of happiness in every encounter.
God Bless.
Diana and I were best friends for years and she was also the office manager in our office
We had a good relationship. I’m very sad and can’t express the loss I feel
I miss who I was with her and I’m lost without her friendship
May you rest in peace Diana
