I can see you walking with Archie and Uncle John in my head.. so pretty and peaceful. I really cherish that day Skylar and I got to join you during your outdoor hike. Your written words are amazing much like you! xoxo, Kathleen (your niece, not sister!!)

Diane,

I am so honored to own the piece of your work that contains this quote. Other people’s words have always inspired me – and these words have such a beautiful “back story.” Hope to meet you again one day soon.

Diane,

A friend in Estes Park referred me to your website – said she thought of me. I have just been through what you are going through. You have captured in words my exact thoughts and feelings. I couldn’t have said it better. I don’t have the mountains, but I do have the beauty of nature around me for which I am profoundly grateful. Walking outside, even during chemo, is very therapeutic, and continues to be now that I am on the other side of treatment. Thank you for your beautiful words. You are an inspiration.

So moving, your deep felt gratitude. We forget always what we have. Many times I have hiked up Mushroom Rock with my “homework” coming down to voice out loud as many expressions of thanks and gratitude as I could muster. It’s a wonderfully cleansing exercise. Now you live it every day. Imagine that you could create envy in a friend for your experience in one way, that we all hope in another we never deal with. You have in your art through the years and now in the sharing of your spirit, been so inspiring. When all this is over, I look forward to holding a piece of the new you that will come forth in your artistic creations. Lots of love,

Hello Diane–

It’s been almost 30 years since I’ve seen you & you look as beautiful as ever…not that years passing make one less beautiful–just the opposite, from your words–which are as close to seeing spirit on a page as I’ve ever experienced. I always think of laughter when I think of you. I know that having cancer is no joke, but to not have fear is truly the key. It makes sense that you heal by going outside–you have mountains of support–literally! And prayers are carried by the wind–and I know you get them from all directions. I feel fortunate to know about your journey (Patt shared this site with me) and imagine the art that is yet to come.

love,

Mary Lynn (McCarthy)

Diane,
Your comments are so you — authentic and strong and deep and beautiful. It has been a gift for me and all the family to be “with” you and John these past months — only wish the distance could be erased. Lots of love and healing energy to you. Kathleen
