Thoughts and aroha to Trinity, Amy, Susan and Barry and their partners and all Diane's very special and loved grandchildren. I grew up with Diane in my life and the Thornley's were a very special part of my families link with us all. Diane was a special person who adored her children and grandchildren. Diane had many strengths and was a true survivor. I will miss her deeply but know she is in a better, pain free place. Her gifts and talents will live through you each and her grandchildren are her legacy for the future. RIP my special friend.
