I think about Diana often. Lately, I've been going through old photos & came across this one taken of us in her back yard right before beginning of our senior year. Late summer, 1968.

I had the privilege of Diana's friendship during our Bowie Jr.High & Irving High School years. We lived down the street from each other, and many hours were spent talking, at the pool, in Toy Tigers, and dreaming of what we wanted to be.

As lives so often do, Diana & I traveled different paths, but I cherish her memory nonetheless. Like a recently-found 'Polaroid' of us posing in Diana's back yard our senior year, I treasure the many mental 'souvenirs' she leaves me.

To LaVerne, Kenny, Nancy & Jimmy, and to her husband, Jim & son, Ryan;

To all who knew & loved Diana,

My condolences for your loss.
Diana is missed.

With love,
Cynthia
