I'd like to express my deepest condolences to Pat and to the family and friends of Diana. Although I didn't know her well, anytime I saw Shady she was very kind and always had a smile on her face. I know she held a special place in the hearts of my daughter Roxanne and my grand daughter Marissa. I know Shady was very loved by her family and friends and I'm sure she'll be forever missed.

Love Always your lil sis,

Dolores & John and Snoogies, Mamas
