As my big sister I always looked up to her, well I think we were the same height or maybe she had a inch on me. Diana was such an w. as such an organized person, having 7 children one would have to be. We were always laughing and joking together. Trying out new cafés for the best coffee and cake. Love you my big sister, see you soon in Jehovah's promise of a new world. Psalm 37.10, 11

Much love to all the family in this trying time. We all miss her brilliant smile and generous heart. Can't wait to see you again in paradise. Love Harriette, Antoinette and Sean, and Raymond.

So loved by so many.. You will be sadly missed Diane but hope for not to long. Your cousin Margaret Clarke

Love to all Aunty Diane's children and grandchildren. We're so sorry for your loss. Also to my mum and all my Hall Aunties and Uncles. We look forward to seeing her again one day soon as was her hope. We enjoyed seeing all the photos and stories of her life from our little Rock in the Pacific. Love Josh, Ren and Meari Goddard

I am sorry I could not be there in person to say goodbye and support the family. My early memories growing up were tied so closely to Auntie Di and my sweet cousins. I miss everyone and am sorry that distance has meant that we lost touch. But you are all, always on my mind. Lots of Love, Wendyxxxxx

Thinking of you all.l in this sad day. Sending much love. Xx

I have the best memories of Aunty Di spoiling me rotten and treating me like a princess. She always made me feel so special and loved. All my love to the whole family. Can't wait to see her and Uncle Frank again soon xxx

Had fond memories of Aunty Diane. Her waffles were phenomenal and perfectly describe her as a person: Sweet, warm and filled with goodness. Sending my love to all the family, can't wait to see her again soon.

To Diana's family all our love and thinking of you today ❤️. Auntie Diana will always be remembered and have a place in my heart. She was the love of Uncle Frank's life and I enjoyed every moment I had with them both, so full of life and living it to the fullest. I feel blessed to have had you in my life Auntie. Peace now. Arohanui Mai. ❤️

Aunty Di Di, I have so many memories of Aunty Di, from her being the queen of shopping and style to mastering those waffles. She was always an amazing cook and always serviced up a delicious roast. Always grandmas right hand girl for duties around the home from a young age. We will miss our aunty Di so much but know it’s only brief moment and we will see her again soon. Love to all my cuzzies during this time.

I always loved coming to stay with you and grandad, even though a lot of the time during my life in New Zealand, we lived just around the corner from you. You always made the little stays so special and spoilt me rotten. You loved entertaining people in your home, from tasty bbqs, to your famous roasts with way too many Yorkshire puddings. You were always mixing up delicious drinks and cocktails (that would turn your little nose all red!) Your house was always such a fun and comfortable place to be for everyone. Granny, You had such a lovely welcoming quality that I really admired. You would always offer people a safe and homely place to crash or stay for a while when they needed it, without any judgement. I know a lot of people would have appreciated that over the years. You were always so generous and caring. I’ll miss your famous rice pudding, having shopping and coffee dates with you, and all the laughs we had over the years. Your amazing fresh herb collection, chilli trees and veggie garden that you and grandad always worked on together. The waffles and the mango juice. We will all miss you Gran, and you will forever be in our hearts. Rest peacefully. 💗

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Dianne and after such a long battle with her health. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of the family. Even when it’s expected death has a sting. Thank goodness this isn’t where the story ends and Jehovah loves us so much he longs to see us again and hear our prayers again. He can already see Dianne and Frank in their beautiful home with the family round the table with peace and plenty forevermore.

My thoughts go out to all of Aunties children. You lost your mum. Thru all their mistakes and all of their generosity and love at the end of the day, you only get one mum. They bore us. Well our dads went off to work , they were the ones who wiped our tears and wiped our bums. To Rueben, I love you cousin. Will be thinking of you today as well as everyone hurting. Psalm 56: 8 You keep track of my wandering. Do collect my tears in your skin bottle. Are they not recorded in your book?

Aunty do was good to me, she loved her children. I can’t wait to see her again - Jason She was fun to know esp. shopping, cafe hopping and get up to mischief - kelly

The Scott family were the best, always my favourites growing up, Aunty Di was a special lady, so much fun, so smart & a big open heart, I still remember bits of her advice from the many chats I had with her when I was young… my luv and sorrow goes out to the family but especially kaz because she did such an amazing job of caring for her and giving her the best life she could in the last few years…. Can’t wait to see her & Frank again ❤️❤️

Dear Diana as I always knew you by that name a lovely friend of many years You had such an open heart an example to every one Many wonderful times had with you and frank who were always there to help when there was a need. I will miss you my dear friend

My big sister. All the tributes above HAVE SAID IT ALL. Life is a roller coaster ride at times. My wish was for Diana to come and share her later years with me here in Tweed Heads on the Gold Coast. I always had her chair on our back deck waiting for her, looking down our beautiful valley. Diana was our mums right hand girl. While mum was busy on the farm helping our dad, Diana cooked and sewed for us all. As I put it, Diana is likened to "in a sleeping carriage on a train". Destination, A NEW WORLD JUST AHEAD. Diana will be sorely missed until we see her again. Leigh Eunice Goddard.

Thinking of the Family at this sad time with the loss of Diana. Living in Australia we haven't been able to spend as much time with our NZ cousins as we would have liked. However we enjoyed Diana's hospitality & kindness on our visit in 2007. We would like to send our sincere condolences to you all. But as for me, I will keep on the lookout for Jehovah. I will show a waiting attitude for the God of my Salvation. My God will hear me - Micah 7:7. Not long now!

We will miss you dearly Diane. You always opened your door to everyone. anyone who cared to call it home. We called it home and we will be forever grateful. Thank you for your warmth, thankyou for been so ready to give. We look forward to hugging you tight in the near future. Until then goodbye our friend.

You have been such a massive part of my life. You always fed me and made me laugh. You always had the best food and nicest furniture. You and uncle frank are greatly missed and I look forward to seeing you both walk back into our life. Love you forever and ever ❤️ 💛 💓

Our thoughts are with the family. Itcis sad seeing our aunties and mum's getting older and experiencing health issues. Aunty Diana was always a fun aunty and was always on the go. She will be missed. I love the scripture in Hosea 13:14 - "From the power of the Grave I will redeem them; From death I will recover them. Where are your stings, O Death? Where is your destructiveness, O Grave?" Lots of love Lindsay & Chrissy

Di Di was a beautiful, loyal friend who had the biggest heart & most vivacious personality. She will be greatly missed. Di made everyone feel special & nothing was ever too much trouble. She had a full & busy life. After raising a large family & working along with her husband on building projects in Rarotonga, Gold Coast & NZ she started her dream business making waffles in her late 60's. She did well for a number of years. I admired her drive and tenacity. Did you know she was a great juggler??? She juggled family, work, friends and spiritual activities. Sometimes she tried to juggle too many balls though & would drop one, which often made her late to things, but she would always get there in the end & you couldn't stay mad at her once you saw her beaming cheeky smile. Di was always stylish with her dress & home. She created a warm, comfortable & inviting atmosphere to share with others. My boys & I boarded with her & Frank at different times. We appreciated them making us feel at home. We had some scrumptious meals and fun times together. Di and Frank also had an amazing garden full of fruit trees, flowers, herbs,& vegetables which we enjoyed regularly. We particularly enjoyed feijoa season. They grew the biggest juiciest ones.. Another thing I loved about Di was her ability to laugh at herself & be positive even in the most trying times. There was this time after she had her stroke when I was trying to help her into my van. She got halfway up & couldn't get any further. She was hanging by her good arm & laughing so hard as I pushed her up onto the seat by her butt. She was so determined & I admired that too. The next time we went for a drive we decided it would be easier to go in her sports car. it was a much more pleasurable trip with the wind blowing in our hair. I could tell many more stories but I will leave it there. I/We look forward to seeing Di in Paradise & she will be the life of the party! Much love & condolences to the family.

Deepest sympathy to all the family. Will always admire Aunty Diane’s timeless style, her amazing cooking, that cheeky laugh and being a hostess with the mostess. Although a sad occasion am looking forward to celebrating her life together with friends and family on Friday. For now it’s not good bye but it’s see you “just around the corner”. ❤️

What wonderful memories!! Always had that one in a million smile on her face. And remember her racing around orewa in the mini minor with family in tow and me often squashed in there somewhere. You cooked the best pancakes and sewed me the nicest dresses. Loved our chats . Till we meet again, you will be missed.

will miss you lots, can’t wait to see you again living with perfect health and getting to be with uncle frank again ❤️❤️
