I will always have a special place in my heart for how she treated someone close to me who was going through breast cancer.

My friend put out feelers for a concert somewhere in Europe where she was visiting a friend. Either one of my friend’s followers (or Diane was already a follower) got word to Diane. Diane used her connections and got my friend backstage tickets to the concerts with the VIP treatment.

The two of them actually became friends and kept up online and on the phone. Diane was exec producing an Alicia Keys tour and invited my friend who brought me along. We met Diane and she was just a super cool person. The two of them just stood there hugging and crying for like five minutes You could tell she was a bad ass. The two kept in touch until my friend passed earlier this year. So sad to hear Diane has passed too.
