Aunt Diana was always so nice to my siblings and I. She went out of her way to make it a point to be in our lives when we were growing up. As we grew older we didn't get to see her anymore and I am heart broken that I didn't get the chance to tell her just how important she was to me. This world has lost such a wonderful woman. She will always have a special place in my heart and she will truly be missed!
