We just got the news! We are in shock. I myself was looking forward to coming back to the cabin and telling Diane I am retired now. Was so looking forward to being able to visit with no time constraints. She is really going to be missed. We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and condolences to you Dick and your family. We will try to see if we can come to her service. We will be in touch.
