Continue ReadingDIANA P. LOMBARDO, 58 of Port Charlotte, Florida died Friday, February 17, 2012 at home.
She was a loving mother, wife, sister, aunt, and friend. Born in Erlangen, Germany on March 27, 1953 to the late Dominick and Helga Terenzi who moved to Port Charlotte in 1961. She is survived by her husband of 35 years, Dennis Lombardo of Port Charlotte, two daughters Gina Lombardo Paz (Michael Paz), Nikki Lombardo Patterson (Matthew Patterson), two grandchildren Lucia and Gabriela Paz, three sisters Susan Brownie, Vicki Leonard, Ramona Derr, and several nieces and nephews.
We will always remember her as beautiful, loyal, self-less, and disciplined. There was something about her smile and energy that made her so special to so many. She had a passion for travel and ancient history. She was the family rock, the glue that held everyone together. Family holidays will always be cherished because she enjoyed entertaining and expressed her love through her cooking. Her personality was as vibrant as the paintings that still hang on the walls. There is no denying Diane’s all-knowing love for flowers. She has planted a garden in each and every one of us that will continue to flourish and bloom.
Diana graduated from Charlotte High School in 1971 to become a cosmetologist then she and Dennis opened their own successful business, Lombardo Tile. Her creative flair and unique sense of design will live on for many local residents for years to come.
You will always be in our hearts and will be missed until we meet again…
Ich liebe dich.
Private services will be held by the family. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Tidwell Hospice 5955 Rand Boulevard Sarasota, FL 34238. They are a blessing to many families and to ours.

Diane and I had so many memories. She was one of the first girls I met when I moved to Port Charlotte in 1968 and we became fast friends. She and I decided we wanted to go riding around one night, so we rolled her parents car out of the driveway and we went riding around. Well, her parents got a call that the laundry mat that they owned had caught fire and when they went to get the car, you guessed it, it was gone.. Boy, did we get in a lot of trouble for that one. She was one in a million. She always looked so perfect. God now has another angel in heaven. We will all be together again some day. Diane, I love you...

Diane....I will always remember you for your kindness to others and for the loving mother you were to your girls. I enjoyed my time as a teen with you and your family babysitting and helping you with things in your home like ironing, running to the store for you and standing there in the kitchen helping you prepare salads etc. for a dinner that night. I always felt a part of the family, like a daughter, not just a babysitter. You allowed me the chance to make some very fun memories with Nikki and Gina that I still talk about to this day.
You gave to those less fortunate. I always respected your big heart and compassion for everyone no matter their circumstances. I admired your beauty inside and out. Inside, being your love, sweetness, concern and selfless-ness. Outside, for your skin, eyes, gracefulness and just you as a whole. You have left behind so many that love you, but so many that you have touched and inspired and that is the most important thing to do and you certainly did it with style and grace.
I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to be able to feel a part of your family. I remember you told me you had designed the house (the one I babysat in) to fit around the trees so you did not have to take so many of them down. You just loved so much...nature, kids, people in general and just loved life! I truly learned so much from you, from putting ice in a vase of fresh flowers, to keep them fresh longer, to thinking of others before myself. You are a wonderful wife, sister, daughter, mother and role model for so many. Your legacy will live on in the hearts of many. You are an angel in Heaven....without a doubt.

We're deeply sorry for your loss. Diana will be dearly missed but she will be remember always as one of the most beautiful and kind person we had ever met and had the opportunity to shared time as a friend and a co-worker.
I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to be able to work with her at the Gallery and see first hand how she could put colors selections together to make house feel like a home. This is not surprised to anyone that knew Diana since she always looked flawless and classy no matter when you saw her.
Thank you Mrs. Lombardo (Diana) for all the great memories and we will always remember you and be in our hearts.

To Dennis and the Lombardo family.
I am so sorry for your loss. The first time I met Diana, she said, "I want to cut your hair!". That was a long time ago when I had hair! But I always remember Diana as a warm and wonderful person and everyone who knew her would say the same. She will be missed.

To the Lombardo Family,
We're deeply sorry for your loss. Diana will be dearly missed but she will be remember always as one of the most beautiful and kind person we had ever met and had the opportunity to shared time as a friend and a co-worker.
I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to be able to work with her at the Gallery and see first hand how she could put colors selections together to make house feel like a home. This is not surprised to anyone that knew Diana since she always looked flawless and classy no matter when you saw her.
Thank you Mrs. Lombardo (Diana) for all the great memories and we will always remember you and be in our hearts.
The Fernandez Family.

Dennis and Family,
We were so saddened to hear of Diana's passing. It was such an honor to have known Diana and to have shared a little bit of her life. She was truly a beautiful person inside and out. We have fond memories of sharing Tile Shows, dinners, etc. with you both. Diana's kind spirit and beautiful, warm smile will always be remembered. May God give you peace during this difficult, time and your fond memories give you strength.
Sincerely,
Wendy and Phil LaMacchia

I treated Diana for her lymph edema after her mastectomy. Since I am a breast cancer survivor myself, we shared a common bond and got to really enjoy our weekly visits together. Diana was such an amazingly beautiful woman inside and out. It has been two years since I last saw her and she was often in my thoughts and prayers that all was going well. Blessings to the family and know in your hearts that though she is missed she is now at peace.

Dear Dennis and family,
I hope that you will find comfort in memories of your lovely Diana. We were childhood friends and Girl Scout buddies. I know the pain you feel is numbing; I lost my husband Roger James a week ago today. God grant us both peace in knowing the meaning of real love.

I will always remember Diane as a beautiful and always polished young lady. The same for her beautiful sisters. You don't often see that much beauty in one family.
Love and prayers to the entire family.
