Never heard of C. Diane. I asked some Oaklanders about her and I drew blanks. Guess you had to know her personally.

The message of our Beloved sister C. Diane Howell’s transistion passed so quickly through the air of the community it was again her pure spirit that got the message to the people. This news touched me deeply. She has contributed so much to the Bay Area in the area of personal upliftment, entreprenurial mastery at its best, and community cohesiveness. My prayers to her family and close friends. In love and light.

I was deeply saddened by the loss of this great woman. A passionate leader and visionary, Diane never tired of believing in the power of our people to progress. She believed in and represented the best of us. We are grateful for all she has contributed to the uplifting of our people. Her passion, her presence and her voice will be missed.
