Diana was such a loving, giving person. She was the "rock" that held together a number of different groups of people. These groups leaned on Diana, and she gracefully and happily accommodated any need. She was soooo warm and loving. She had such a positive outlook. She was always genuinely happy to see just about anyone. She was a super-woman, and we all have a huge gap to fill now that she is gone.
She was three years older than me. I really looked up to her. She was much more socially gifted than me, and I remember our special talks when I was a teen. How she'd explain things to me and I really valued it. When she first came back from UC Davis for Xmas break, I was amazed at how she was in constant motion the whole time. She went from friend's house to friends house at great speed. She was a social whirlwind. And the phone would ring and it would be "Hiiiiiiiiiii!" in her high pitched squeal of delight as she connected with yet another friend. Such an amazing joy from friendship and human contact. She just loved Xmas and making food and gifts for others. She had an infinite supply of energy when it came to giving to others.
