I am a regular at the Wawa where Diane worked. I loved going in there every morning because I felt like I was visiting friends. Diane was a big reason for that. She was always pleasant and loved talking to everyone. I can honestly say she made my mornings a little bit brighter. She will be missed. Her family is in my prayers.
