My deepest sympathy to Chuck and her family. I have very fond memories of Diane from our Penn State days and was deeply saddened to hear of her passing. Heaven is a brighter place and our world a little darker without her. God bless you and comfort you all. See you on the flip side, Green.

Words are hard to find at at time like this. I met Diane in 1977. We became immediate friends. We could go for years without seeing each other and start where we left off. She loved me & my family so. I will miss her so very much. My heart & prayers go to you Chuck.
