My heartfelt condolences to Diane's family. I graduated with her in 1970 from CPHS and had lost touch with her over the years. We ran into each other about 4 yrs. ago and it was great to see her again, brought back all the fun memories we had in high school. She was a wonderful person, may you find comfort in your memories.
Sincerely, Linda (Lerow) Hoesl
