It has been a pleasure being part of the Voyagers with you since I arrived at Rogers-Herr. Enjoy your retirement.

Time sure does fly by. I am so happy for you that in your 2nd life phase you will be living the adventures that you and your students read about. Your students are a testament to the courage and high standards that you have set forth in your day to day lessons. Best wishes and make sure to continue living out your dreams!
With much admiration and respect,

I still can't believe that you get to go out on your wild adventure all on your own. Please write a book about it and we can get Reese Witherspoon to play you in the movie adaptation. I have so much to thank you for. I don't know if I would have made it through my first year of teaching without your constant encouragement and our Friday "planning time." I'm incredibly thankful for the year we spent on the same hall. I always knew (even after I moved off the hall) that I could come to chat in your room - no questions asked. I know you are only leaving for 6 months, but I'm going to miss you being right upstairs.

Stay safe, read a lot, take many pictures, and enjoy your trip!
Love, Beth A.

Thanks for supporting me as I have grown as a teacher.  It will stink to not have you upstairs when I need you!
I am jealous and excited about the new adventures you are going to have. Thank you for being such a good friend.  Love, Jen

Diane,
I hope this new stage of your life brings lots of adventure, new places and new people, and time to see and do it all.
Journey on!  love, Lynn

It has been a great pleasure to have met you. I have known you as a great educator and my daughters will forever carry a small portion of your DNA.
I want to thank you for being there for me and assisting me as an Editor to pen a beautiful moment in time of my relationship with my Father.  I want  to say now that I have had the amazing honor (per Kelly),  to read  your book about your father, that I agree with her, publish the book. I will be looking  forward to your interview  on "Good Morning  America" as a published and renowned author and adventurer.
Diane, "never let the grass grow under your feet," live your best life. I am so happy for you.
In awe of you!

Dear Diane,
I am so excited for you as you start the next leg of your journey.  I will so miss our philosophical talks, and I hope that you will swing back around here every now and then to touch base.  You are such an amazingly courageous woman, and I look forward to hearing about all the adventures you get up to in the coming months and years.  You inspire me to think broadly, Go conquer the world!
With love and admiration,

Diane, I am so glad I have been able to know you as a professional and as a friend.  Best of luck in all your new adventures.  When you are free and in the area, let's go for a run, a walk, or make jewelry.  Beth Spataro

Diane, I am so fortunate that Dottie introduced us so many years ago and that you joined the Rogers-Herr family.  I know moving from Elementary to Middle was a big transition, but you ROCKED IT.  You have been and will always be a superb friend and colleague.

There is SOOOO much to congratulate you on!
~Congrats on your retirement, which is very much deserved and earned.
~Congrats on the the increase of your family with now both your beautiful daughters getting married and you have son-in-laws.
~Finally, congrats on selling your home.  SOOOO quickly I might add ;) Just amazing!

I will miss you immensely and look forward to following your new adventures online until you are back in the area again!  I can't wait to see all the wonderful adventures that lie ahead for you!  Call me when you are back in town, I would love to catch up and have a girls day/evening.  If ever you need a place to crash, I have a spare room that you are always welcome to!

P.S.  Maybe now that you are retired you will find time to publish the book you made of your dad.  I have and continue to enjoy reading his perspective of history!  I know others would too!  And hey....might give you some travel money ;)!  Thank you so much for sharing it with me, it's truly a VERY special treasure!!  AND HEY....if you do publish it - I want an author's signed copy, first edition ;)!
