  • A wonderful person, and one of my best friends. - Posted by: Lydon Thickens (Brother) on: Jan 31, 2025

  • Dear Family I was saddened to hear of your loss. Dian was older than me by 7 years, but as a child growing up in the same home town of Spearhill, MB.,I remember admiring her. It was her personality, her smile that shone. She was a beautiful person then and it sounds that her personality remained an integral part of her throughout her life span. Yes, as someone younger who had the privilege of her acquaintance, I too was in awe of her. She left her mark in many ways, didn't she...and this is going back 50 plus years ago. I too, can sense your loss. My very deepest sympathy to your family. Karen Price (nee Kiesman) - Posted by: Karen Price (aquaintence) on: Nov 11, 2018
