What wonderful memories I have of visits with Diji when mother Julia Cook and I would stop by on our way to or from Dallas. They would share stories and we'd look at her artwork. I am saddened to learn she is gone.

DiJi was one of the finest ladies I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and calling my friend. Our difference in age was no barrier. We clicked the first time we met. I will treasure the time we spent together and miss her dearly.##imported-begin##Carol Judy##imported-end##

Diji was a lady. She made any room she entered a bit classier. She will be missed by Tammy and me. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, her family.##imported-begin##Trey Smith##imported-end##
I was very sad to read about Diji this morning. I had the pleasure of meeting her and Bill many years ago when I was an employee of Office Depot, where they frequently shopped. I even remember giving Diji computer lessons after selling them their first computer. That was many years ago, but their kindness and resemblance to my own grandparents still touched my heart frequently. They will be missed!##imported-begin##Roger Maxwell##imported-end##
I will never forget the time I asked Diji if it was difficult when she was no longer able to sing with the opera. Her face lit up in the brightest smile and she answered that a new chapter in her life opened - that was when she began to paint! I will always remember that moment - a life lesson! She was such a special lady and Mike and I will miss her smile.##imported-begin##Kathi Holbert##imported-end##
Diji will be greatly missed by all the Board Members of OPERA EAST TEXAS. She was a joy to know.##imported-begin##Judi Morgan##imported-end##
