Please accept my sincere condolences to Diane's family and friends. I also grew up in Hyde Park and went to school with her. She was sweet and caring. I hope you find peace in this sad time.

My sincerest condolences to the
Degnan Family. I grew up in
Hyde Park and went to school
with Diane. I remember her to
be a very sweet and caring person.
I believe that she was the older
sister of a very large family and
I am sure that her brothers and
sisters have many wonderful memories
of her.
