Jeff and I would like to express our deepest condolences to the Stroh family. We enjoyed a decades long friendship with Diane and know her to be a humble, loving, caring, friend. Diane never said a word in anger and was very kind, generous and faithful. We have such fond memories of dinners, vacations, visits, 4th of July, New Year's celebrations, weddings and the list goes on. John 11:25-26

I am so sorry for the loss of Diane. I will always remember her as a kind caring person who definitely brought a light to our Marian Class of 1975. May she rest peacefully in the arms of our Lord & may His grace bless her & keep her. Prayers.

I was a friend of Diane’s when the family lived in the Quad Cities. We met at mother/toddler class at the Moline YMCA. Diane was a wonderful mother to her three boys and a devoted wife to Mark. She was very kind and generous. She was nice enough to invite me to Community Bible Study. I appreciated that very much. I am so sad to learn that Diane has passed. She was a great person and will be fondly remembered.

Sending condolences to the whole Stroh family. I have many memories of Diane from our high school days and can still envision her beautiful face walking those hollowed halls 50 years ago. It brings a smile to my face as I remember the many laughs we shared on Student Council together and will keep them close to my heart. Prayers for you Mark and your children as you navigate the days ahead . Heaven truly gained another very special angel!

Deepest sympathy to the family on the loss of Diane. She was such a humble and loving friend. She inspired me so much by her example of a loving Christian woman. Saying many prayers for her and the family.

Mark, John, Greg, Tom, and families: Sad and difficult times; you have my deepest condolences. Diane’s obituary succinctly and appropriately describes her, with one embellishment. She was a wonderful role model (as is Mark) to you and to all who had the good fortune to know her. I’ve long held great respect for both Diane and Mark, as not only great parents, but also as capable, caring, contributing individuals. I believe you can well honor her memory and legacy by emulating her values, ethics, and morals, and by sharing them with your heirs. May God bless Diane and each of you. Jon Chapman

I was so very sorry to learn of Diane's passing: on the few occasions we met, she showed herself to be a warm, kind woman, devoted to her family. She was extremely welcoming and courteous to me when I first visited Kansas, and has been a loving grandmother to my nieces and nephews. May flights of angels welcome her to paradise.

Mark, I haven’t seen either of you since high school but have fond memories of both of you. I was seated behind Diane in Math class at Marian and next to you in grade school. You were a perfect match for each other. I remember her kindness, laugh and how smart she was. I am so sorry you lost your soulmate and hope your faith brings solace and comfort to you and your family. Ellen Raynor

Dear Mark and John, I am grateful to have known Diane. Ours was a brief time, but she made an impression on me: her kindness towards me and her desire to live her days despite limitations really spoke to me. You are all in my thoughts and prayers in this season of loss. May comfort reach you in times and ways real to each of you - knowing especially that God's generous goodness and love is being enjoyed by Diane in ways now unlimited.
