Most of my childhood was filled with memories of you. How hard, you worked and cared for others. I remember the way your family always made time to be together at dinner time, no matter what. I especially loved how generous you were by having me over for Taco nights. You may be gone but never forgotten.

"to the girl I've known since 6th grade" Diane wrote this in all my yearbooks and cards, etc. She was my best friend for 48 years and will be dearly missed.
