Heartbroken to hear of Diva’s passing.
Diva was such a light, loved her family and was so caring of others.
When Diva was in the room, you knew it.
She was one of the most genuine people I’ve known … If she had an opinion, she shared it, and it was always out of love and faith.
Diva was a total joy and a beautiful talent! So enjoyed her musical abilities.
Sending prayers, sympathy, and care, Lisa, during this difficult time.
I’m so sorry to hear of her passing. We enjoyed many laughs and music together. I will miss her. She was a great mom and grandmother.
