Danielle Michelle. I wonder where the "Diem" came from. I can't picture her as a "Danielle". Diem was so apart of her personality and represented her to a T.
That service sounds beautiful. "On Eagles Wings" is one of the most stunning hymnals.
This is going to sound sick and twisted, and very science fiction-esque, but... When CT's ready, years from now, he should look into having one of her frozen eggs fertilized and finding a surrogate mother. Live Diem's dream of a family in her stead since she can't be here to make it happen herself.
Okay, that did sound ****** up, but I didn't mean it in a bad way at all.
Not sick and twisted at all since people really do this. Its not like an episode SVU where there's no time left to harness them but I agree with you.

Can't
picture her as a Danielle Michelle? Why not. I rather that name then a blend like we got. That is a beautiful name...well all 3 that is.
I agree with you. Diem may be the love of his life, but it's entirely possible that had they not been thrown back into all the MTV challenges - that he may never have found his way back with her after the first break up.
I really hope this doesn't come off crass, but from that break up - he knows how to exist without her, as he's had to before. I don't think it means he knows how to stop loving her (but he doesn't really have to, as each love is different) nor do I think that makes it easier, but it gives me hope that he can still have a happy life.
And he does seem to have a large support network back home in Boston as well as all their MTV family - and more than likely, Diem's family. If they were together, and he was with her throught his all - each one of those friends who stuck by her, will watch out for him.
I hope your right. I never thought of it that way.
I agree with you Karisa. I want him to be happy as well and I know Diem would want that as too. However, her wish before she died was to have children. She was very vocal about it. I feel as if the man Diem was talking about having that dream with was him. In some way I think him using her eggs is a very possible outcome but, time will tell.
Yeah I really don't know but the thought is beautiful. Whatever is best for him.
Im going to be in the city about a mile away from where they were, I wonder if i will see anyone there.. I will turn into a wreck if I do see any of them, only because of what their in the city for
Random but does anybody have a favorite Diem moment they want to share? I've been crying on and off for the last few days but thinking about all the times she made me laugh or smile on tv sort of helps.
One of my favorite moments is when they did that heights challenge on the duel 2 when the boys had to hold the girls. It was soooo funny to hear Diem talk super fast and demand that Evan not drop her. " You better not drop me!" You WILL go to the duel if you drop me!!" "Don't you DARE drop me!" And then Evan interviewing in the background. Pure comedy lol.
And that episode when Diem had to go into elimination on the first duel. When CT and Diem are on the balcony and he rips off her head scarf. JEKFAN's avi right now.
I also loved the first night on Rivals 2 with Diem in the pool when she said "I loved him since the day I saw him" How many of us have ever felt that way about someone? To feel so connected with someone...
It's so devastating to see pictures of them now. Actually any picture of her. I alternate between extreme sadness and shock and then denial and sadness all over again.
She said that this spring... "that has never changed, I knew I loved him the day we met and always have..."
I have so many favorite Diem moments from all the Challenges. I loved her very touching conversation with Aneesa in Rivals II when the two of them are in the pool and Diem describes how she feels with CT, that she feels "Full" with him. As beautiful a tribute to their enduring love as that first kiss.
I would love to see CT eventually compete on Dancing With The Stars to honor Diem's memory and fulfill her dream. Obviously, now is not the time for anyone to be thinking about this, but as a fan, I think it would be sweet to see, and it would be hilarious watching his competitive streak emerge in a DANCING competition. I know D would be cracking up.
When I last saw Diem in NYC earlier this year, I asked her about DWTS. I knew she had met with (auditoned) for the show producers several years ago, but I was surprised when she told me that she had recently talked to one of the producers who told her that they could not put Diem and Valarie Harper on the same season. (Haper, who has brain cancer, was on DWTS two season's ago.) While Diem was clearly sanguine about never being on the show, it was still something she fantasized about. I remember her saying that I should not forget that someone who loves to dance is not necessarily a good dancer. I think she would be thrilled if any of her friends were to appear on DWTS.
This from US Weekly: "Brown's indomitable warmth and fight to survive left a lasting impact on her loved ones. Many of her fellow MTV stars, including her longtime love Chris "CT" Tamburello, Evan Starkman, Kenny Santucci, Mark Long, Johanna Botta, Ace Amerson, Paula Meronek, KellyAnne Judd, Ruthie Alcaide, Aneesa Ferriera, Laurel Stuckey, Cara Maria Sorbello, and Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio, were in attendance at Tuesday's service."
So we also know Camilla, Ibis, Jordan and Jay were there. And I think Knight and Wes was supposed to be? Either way, what a testament to Diem to have so many castmembers from so many seasons. If Ace was there, I have to wonder if Isaac and Cohutta were there too.
Or do we think that Ace is actually still friends with CT from RW Paris?

Ace is friend with JKE/CT too.
Btw her middle Name was Marie or Michell? People wrote Michelle,USweekly wrote Marie.

Wow, I wonder if it was awkward with Kellyanne and Evelyn.. But even if it was they were at a funeral.. If anyone started anything at a funeral for Diem they would be hated forever.. I wonder if Cohutta did go, they seemed close from the Ruins on

I really dont think so. At that point, if you're going to a funeral, you can't be anything but respectful. Everything seems trivial compared to what had just happened, so if they can't put it behind them then they need to grow up.

Evelyn was there, too.
Evelyn wrote a lovely post about Diem, too. She's one of the best of the Challenge family. Always admired her and her refusal to lose. I believe Ashley Kelsey was also planning to go.
Oh, thats really nice to know. I saw Isaac post a picture of Ace lately so I knew they were all still connected. Isaac's tribute to her was so geniune and sweet, it broke my heart as well. All of them have been breaking my heart. Were Ace and Diem ever on a challenge together ? I am slowly going back to the old challenges to refresh my memories of who was on what.

I loved what Isaac wrote. They were on Duel II together. Loved Cohutta's comments. Oh hell, what everyone had to say about her was so touching and just so indicative of the type of person she was, so kind and compassionate. From personal experience, she was wonderful about supporting causes I'm involved in (e.g., Compassionate Use of clinical trial drugs for dying patients) and befriended a sweet 15 year old cancer patient whose campaign I worked on, keeping up with her throughout her treatment. I can't say enough about how much that meant to that young girl (who got her clinical trial meds). Never a time I asked her for an RT or to answer a question for someone that she didn't respond.

No--the only ones they could have done together were Fresh Meat (no Ace), The Duel (no Ace) and Inferno III (no Diem)....Ace never did any after that.
Ugh that was so sad to read
. She was loved by so many people.
Alicia seems like such a great friend.
She loved many people but her words regarding "That girl (Alicia) is my bestie"
Danielle Michelle. I wonder where the "Diem" came from. I can't picture her as a "Danielle". Diem was so apart of her personality and represented her to a T.

diem her initials are d m her family probably called her diem.
I agree, Diem fits her so well.
It looks like Jay went to the funeral also so I think a lot of cast members went.

I just googled the church. It's actually very close to where I work. But i'm sure it is over by now.
johnny posted a picture of the church on his IG this morning.

Ace actually did stay friends with CT
Ace is friend with JKE/CT too.

Do U know what happened between them

Megan was Diem's little sister? I always thought Megan was the oldest.
Ashley Kelsey was definately there. They were like best friends. I know Ace and CT still remained extremely close so he probably there to support CT.
Please not now.
The US weekly article was tough. Only Diem could get all those people in that room.
Rest in eternal peace, beautiful.

Love how US Weekly breaks out a guest list ..... because who are we kidding, we all wanted to know who was there!!
D's other love was a Paul Bearer
