Few people in my life were ever more precious to me than Dr. Frede and Diana. In my most formative years, both were such powerful influences on shaping my character, my values and ultimately my entire personal and professional life. I will never ever forget those joyous years at their dining table in the 26 Old Westbury home. After my own parents, these two were the greatest blessings God ever gave me and their impact has been unceasing. I really look forward to our reunion in heaven one day. In the meanwhile, an earthly thanks and a ton of gratitude are due.

Much love, Jay and Carol Krentz Wippold

Diana has left me with many fond memories since childhood to present. She was a faithful child of God, sharing her love of Jesus with all those around her. She was such a beloved Grandmother to my nieces, and touched the lives of my own children as well. Even toward the end, her smile and laughter radiated with the love of Jesus. She was a woman "full of GRACE". May God grant the whole family His PEACE which surpasses all human understanding.
Respectfully, Karen (Kluegel) Wilkins

What a Blessing Diana was to all who knew her. She blessed my life as a young nurse many, many years ago. Now she is with all "the saints who from their labors rest." Thank you Lord, for the gift of Eternal Life for Diana and for all who call upon your Name.
