Diane Naegel
I am so heartbroken that Diane has passed. She was one of my first live journal friends. I had the opportunity to meet her 10 years ago in a bar in the east village when she was in college in Ohio visiting NYC. Shortly after she moved to NYC. We spoke on the phone in 2006 because she was going through a bout of anxiety and it was something I had personal experience with.
Recently I knew she had breast cancer but she came across so strong and positive through her entries and fb statuses. I sent her happy thoughts and prayers. Her mom had had breast cancer and beat it. I was so sure she would do the same. I didn't know it had gotten this bad. I'm mad at myself that I rarely read livejournal.I wish there was something I could of done to help her...to be there for her.
Diane was talented, artistic, creative, and lovely. She loved the twenties, louis brooks, at one time made fabulous scarves, co-produced wit's end ( a monthly celebration of the jazz age in NYC full of cocktails, fashion, and fun.)
though she wasn't part of my daily life..her passing has left an empty space in me. For 10 plus years I've been in the know of her private thoughts, creative bubbling ideas, daily life...her love for all things autumn and owls...and recently her engagement. Live journal is a crazy space. Diane I will miss all the little things in your mind.
As I'm typing this in a sleepy haze and my forgetful mind...I am remembering a package I got from her when willa was born. She was an accessories designer for osh kosh and she sent me a bunch of samples for Willa. Totally out of the blue. She did have to do that but she was such a generous thoughtful person
I will miss you diane. You were way too young but I guess some people are just too good for earth.
