Diann grew up in a small, Midwestern suburb just outside Columbus, Ohio near The Ohio State University.  A proud graduate of OSU, she and her husband, Buz, were blessed with two children; 1 boy and 1 girl.  Though she and her family experienced a life unimagined, it is through the sharing of those experiences that we are are witness to her true character. Her unwavering love, strength, resilience, determination, and devotion to her family will forever live on in her book.
