I was deeply saddened to learn of Diane’s passing. She and I were good friends in Fort Wayne where we belonged to the most wonderful euchre club when our children were little. We smoked, ate, and laughed til we had tears in our eyes (not from the smoke, I don’t think) – and sometimes we even played a little euchre. Diane had the most wonderful sense of humor and was a delight to be around. Unfortunately, we lost contact with each other as the years slipped by. She was so happy to have met her husband, Dorsey, and I’m sure she spent many happy years there in PA. My sincerest condolences to all her family.

So sorry to hear of Diane’s passing. I enjoyed sharing our job with her at Dr. D all those years. Really glad we got to have lunch last summer, she looked so well then I prayed for a better outcome.
