    This is a tribute to it being her birthday !! Nobody's actually reading the description and listening to the words.. everyone's so focused on a nickname who gives a s*** what her nickname is most people on here could be f#$ktard simply because of your selfish inappropriate and unnecessary comments..
    I went to school with her... She worked very hard to get where shes at today, very very focused, and always smiling. (Something you should try)
    ... The world needs more people appreciating somebody else right now & as you can tell by this news feed people don't do that anymore... anytime somebody works hard at something y'all would have to try to be rude & bash somebody instead of congratulating them. what she did was not easy I don't see any of you doing half of what she did so cut it out stop being assholes and appreciate somebody in your life for a change kindness appreciation I love for one another is contagious and so is a person like Diana's drive, persistent hard work and smile!!!
