Sending prayers to Diane’s family. She was such a positive & caring person. Loved the Gebhart cousin visits when we got together. My deepest sympathy to all of you.
So sorry to hear about Diane. I couldn’t have asked for a better godmother growing up. Many fond memories. Tim, Tom & Terry, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry for the loss of Diane. Remembering all the great “Gebhart Family Reunions” over the years. Loved getting together with everyone when we came back to Iowa. Diane will be missed.
Diane was always so sweet and pleasant when she came into the YWCA. I always enjoyed when Diane and Tom came in. My deepest sympathy to Tom and her family.
