Our Beloved Diane now in the spirit realm left a lasting impact on the universe. Everything she did was for the good of all. Her essence of loving, giving + nurturing is forever in our heart + soul. It is truly a blessing to be a part of your family journey. So many GREAT memories ~sigh...

Well said Lowaunz ! and my sentiments are reflected. There were 4 things that I will never forget about Sister Diane, 1. Her roasted vegetable lasagna, 2. How she loved to see the kids having fun at the Smith family reunion, always making everyone feel welcomed, 3. Meeting Gil Scott Heron at the kitchen table of her childhood home in the 70’s and 4. The advise she once gave to me to “get up, dress up, and show up”
I love you Diane, You will always be present in my heart ❤️
My condolences

I grew up with Diane Pam Pat Suzie and Jenny. I spent as much time with them as any relatives outside my brothers. Before I got my first car, I would ride my bike, and even walk to Maureen's to visit. The time spent with Diane and her sisters will forever be cherished memories. As we got older, I would go to events, gatherings and parties with Diane and as we are the same age, she loved to introduce me as "her uncle" to her friends. When in reality I thought of her as more of a sister than a niece. Diane, like all her sisters was a loving, generous soul that would open her heart to all that knew her. If you needed something, and she was able, she was there. Possessing a beautiful smile that would light up when she spoke of her family and her son Joey, family was so important to her. Her leadership as grand Poohbah of the Rat Pack (family reunion committee) was just another extension of that family bond. And don't get me started on her cooking. OMG! I know I speak for so many here when I say that we will miss Diane for the joy and light that she was. Diane, I love you sweetie, until we all will be together again.
PS Say hello to Dr. Smith for me and could you tell him that I got this pain on my left side, and what does he think it is (smile) Miss you forever.

My heart sank when I heard the news of Diane’s passing. The Smith family are an extension to the Merrick family. My memory of Diane will always be one of a beautiful warm spirit who always wore a big beautiful smile with a welcoming heart!
I am sure she is flying amongst the Angels.
My condolences to the family. We share your pain!

My condolences go out to the immediate and extended family of Diane. I initially met Diane when she became my new supervisor at the Department of Homeland Security. Through general conversation, we later discovered that we were actually related! Those who are related to the Tapscott’s know the family is HUGE and it is not unlikely to encounter family you never knew you had! I learned a lot from Diane over the years while working for her. Many lessons I will forever remember and many of those lessons I will continue to implement throughout my career. She enjoyed her life and spoke highly of her family. I always enjoyed the stories she told about her son, her mother, and her sisters. I am so sorry for your loss and you all will continue to be in my prayers.

Words are inadequate to express my sadness and sympathy for your loss.
I have never known anyone more intensely and vibrantly ALIVE
than Diane, and I shall always remember her that way.
I am confident that she would not want her unexpected passing,
from this mortal world, to be the cause of so much sadness, but,
of course, we can’t help it.
I can imagine that she would be extremely pleased to see everyone
gathered to joyously celebrate her life.
I pray to God to Bless Diane And All Of You With Everlasting
Comfort Joy And Peace.
Love And Prayers And All Very Best Wishes To You All!!!!!!!!!!

So many memories just keep floating back all of a sudden. I always thought Diane was the most beautiful girl in the world. I remember when she was taking classes at Barbizon for modeling and I use to wonder what in the world could they possibly teach her. She was always very warm and friendly to me. One of the closest folks to a big sister I had. I always looked up to and admired her. She will be missed!

It is so rare in life to cross paths, even if ever so briefly, with such a beautiful, loving soul like Diane. To know her as family and as a friend, her wonderfully enchanting personality will always be remembered by me. May she rest in eternal peace until we all meet again.
