Tom, How shocked I was to hear of Diana's death. Kenny called to tell me because he had read about it in his local paper. I know many years have passed since we have seen each other, but time doesn't erase the fun we had or the wonderful memories. My sympathies to you and your children.

Diana and I were good friends in High School, and then drifted apart afterward. But I am so sorry she left us so soon.

Tom & Family....
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I was shocked when I heard of Diana's passing. I remember the double dates we went on when we were in high school. Remember the good times.

Diana will definately be missed here at SullivanArc, she was a very strong lady. She did not take anything from anyone and held her own even in the end. I will miss her calling me on the phone with her first words being "Shelia Darling" she knew how to get what she wanted from me and I was glad I could help. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
