My wife, Cathy, and I fondly remember you and your family, Diana. God bless your mother. We mourn her passing, which I sadly read of today online from my home in New Jersey. Your parents graciously hosted us for dinner at your lovely home in Newton more than 25 years ago. You were a delightful young student then, seven, perhaps eight, years old. Your bubbly personality and beautiful smile, your excellent schoolwork and wonderful manners were a tribute to your parents. Our sincere condolences to all your family...your old teacher from Franklin School.

Diana and Family,
I am sooo very sorry for all of the anguish, pain and heartache you and your family have suffered as a result of your mother's illness, and now, knowing that she is 'free', but also knowing and feeling her absence in all of your lives. I am thinking of all of you and praying that you will receive comfort, love and support from each other, and also from a higher power. Meanwhile, if there is anything that I can do, just reach out and I'll be there.

Love,

Donna McKinnon (BEC)
