	Diana Lynn Conner Carolina Lifecare Conway, South Carolina

"Diana was a dedicated flight nurse, and a full time paramedic who enjoyed every minute of her work," stated her husband, Steven Conner, "there wasn't a better nurse anywhere." "She was thrilled to be at work every minute she was there; she was just 'outstanding'". When Diana landed the job as a flight nurse, another goal had been met; it was her dream job. Diana's best friend and fellow emergency room nurse, Meggin Gunn, said Diana was the most energetic person she knew. I worked with her for six years and she was very meticulous and punctual. She was full of life, full of love, and loyal, such a loyal friend. Diana was that way with everyone; her patients were so lucky, and she will be missed by all of us, stated Gunn.
