Dear Knudsen Family,
I am sad to see that Diane has passed away; I have very fond memories of her, and the Knudsen family. I was best friends with Marv for many years, and can remember many hours spent with members of your family. I have often wondered about how you all are doing. My memories of Diane are mostly about when she was married to Scott Dunn. They invited both Marv and I to visit them quite frequently, and they were always giving and kind. After I returned from my mission, I lost track of Marv and your family; but have often thought of our good time and also trying times together. My condolences go out to your family, would love to hear from any of you (435-627-2795 in Washington, Utah), and am very sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear of Diane's passing. She was always so generous of her time and genuine concern for others. She was a good friend to my family, especially my mother Dorothy and my Aunt Gladys. Her presence at Aunt Gladys' bedside during the last days of her life was a blessing to her and my cousins.
My thoughts and prayers are with Dawn, Dusty & Cris at this time. Heaven called one of its angels home, rest in peace Diane.
