My deepest sympathies, Bob. Even I, who never met her, could sense how much a part of you and your operation she was.

Sara

Oh, so sorry, Bob! Dianne was such a faithful partner and a lady full of grace and strength. Praying for you...

I'm very sorry, all my condolences.
Clement

Sorry to hear, Bob. Best wishes in this time of hardship.

My condolences to you Bob and all who knew her.
Cher

Bob, you're good people. I'm happy you had her for such a long time.

Bob, Sara hit the nail on the head for me in her post above. I also had the same sense of knowing someone without ever meeting them. Folks like Will, Dave and so many others have spoke of her in kind ways over the years...Im sure she was your special other half!
Peace and prayers...

You have many MANY friends Bob, please don't hesitate to call if you need something or want assistance or just plain want to take a trip to get out of the house. We all realize the pain is intense but it's more than I can fathom. I mentioned Dianne, fondly, in my 'Clanbrassiliana' post because like so many, we had moments and shared time with Dianne and felt her warmth.

I didn't feel it was appropriate to make a centralized post for such a difficult part of life, especially since they were not my own kin or loved ones but I felt something should be mentioned.

We're there for you Bob and hope you make it through this difficult time as painlessly as possible...

I echo the sentiments of everyone, and offer my deep and heart-felt condolences. My email exchanges with Dianne were always, caring, insightful, and helpful.

My condolences.

Wishing you courage and strenght. T.

Oh my, Bob. My prayers are with you. Having had the pleasure of meeting both of you and speaking with Diane on the phone, she will be missed. I always enjoyed the comments she'd put on packing slips about the conifers enclosed.

My deepest sympathies.

Tom

So sorry to get this news - only met Dianne once but was charmed by her :-) I too wish you strength and peace and my best wishes.

So sorry Bob. A real shock to all that knew her.
I too, only met her once, and was very impressed.

Before this post drifts down off the page, I just wanted to thank everyone for your kind comments and thoughts. One of the nice things about her selling dwarf conifers is that whenever you see one in your garden purchased from us you will give her a brief thought.

Face to face twice at ACS functions,immediate recognition
of similiar interests,just a sweetheart of a person and a dear lady.Wish I'd known her longer.....Doug Wilson

Takes alot of courage to post here on this. I fear losing my spouse more so than my own passing. I can't imagine life without her.

Cherish the memories you have of her and know that she is in a better place and would want you to carry on to life's fullest.

All I hear is that you and her have left lasting imprints with those around you. All one can ask for is to leave behind a legacy of respect and love.

She will be sitting on clouds and watching your interesting forest. Deepest condolences, Bob.

My most heart-felt condolences go out to you, and I'm wishing you the strength to carry on at this most difficult time.

I was just wondering, is/are there any plant(s) named after her?
