Even though over the past 10 years we haven't had much contact your family is still considered close in my heart. When Brian Silver called me I knew something had happened and this came to me as a shock. Diane was such a strong woman! I still can picture that Big Blue Station Wagon coming down Vincent Dr. All of you will be in my thoughts across the country. Your Friend and Childhood Neighbor
