So sorry I couldn’t make the service today to pay my respects to the family and farewell Dianne. It was a beautiful tribute to a much loved wife, mum and grandma. Dianne was much valued member of our team at MOJ and we were privileged to have known and worked with her. We still miss her and are thinking of all the family at this sad time. RIP Dianne 💕

Such a beautiful tribute to Dianne. I have watched the lovely service from Australia. Psalm 116 was a perfect choice. You guys all pulled together a fantastic Eulogy, and beautifully presented. She was so proud of you all. I have been lucky to be able to stay in touch with Dianne, even with leaving Invercargill in 1991, she never let a good friendship disappear. We shared some fun weekends as Boys Brigade widows, sleeping over so we could all look after the kids. And then I would come and visit on my trips South. She will be missed by all xxx

Dear David and family, It was with great sadness that I was told by Doug and Rachel that Dianne had died peacefully on Friday and I want to extend my love and deepest sympathy to you all. She was such an integral part of your lives, her death will leave a huge gap. I knew her so well through her membership and involvement in Windsor church and she was always so willing to help with any task asked of her- and always with her bubbly happy smile. Her support to you David with Boys' Brigade was second to none and it is a testament to you both that the Brigade is still a happy, effective and lively group of boys - what a legacy ! I cannot be with you tomorrow, but will watch the service on line and pray that the wonderful God of peace will surround you and comfort you in the days and months ahead. For Diane - be assured that she is now at peace with God her Heavenly Father where he has prepared a place for her in His house. Love to you all Margaret
