I know Miss Dial passed years ago, but I just came across her obituary. I was blessed to have her and because of her I love reading, and books as an adult in her 50s. Her quiet kindness, and manner I follow and admire as adult and for that Iam grateful. RIP Ms Dial
Diana, I will always remember the day we shared in the birth of your nephew, Michael, with your dear mother Frances. It was just the three of us (or four of us if you include Nancy who was giving birth!) That day was one of the most precious memories that I will have in my life. The way your faces lit up the room at the announcement that you were an Aunt and your mother was a Grandmother. It was a joyous day. That is the way I will always remember you, your eyes sparkling, and your heart bursting with joy and happiness. Rest well sweet Diana, I will never forget you. Love always, Mary
Deepest sympathy in the loss of a great teacher. May the fond memories bring comfort to the family during this difficult time of grief and pain.Isaiah 25:8
Ms. Dial was my English and Theology teacher freshman year. She made our first year fun, and even continued to return to the school after she retired, she will be truly missed.
Ms. Dial was my freshman English and Theology teacher. Her presence was a blessing on the Saint Teresa community, and I'm sure countless students and faculty appreciated her as I do. Rest in peace.
I taught with Diana for 16 years at St. T and was constantly inspired by her professionalism and positive attitude. Just mentioning her sister Nancy and nephew Michael would bring an instant smile to her face! Thank you for all that you have given to us. RIP dear Diana. Mary Jane Mescher
