Not sure what to say?

My dear cousin Diane, you were one of our best cousin's to be around. With that laugh you had, and sense of humor. You could always bring happiness to our family. Will miss you, but you and your mom and dad were in my dream the other night sitting in some car. You all looked so happy. Hope I have many more of you. Love you, Marilyn

Diane was helping me assemble and decorate my daughter´s wedding cake I made. It was late the night before the wedding and I had frozen the layers ahead. Well she´s trying to get the wooden support rods in but remember this is a frozen cake. She gets a hammer and is hammering away when she misses and slams hammer into cake! We are laughing like crazy saying frosting will fill in the hole and people will be drunk by then. I love that memory of my dear friend. I will miss you Diane.

May she rest in peaceMy sincere condolences to her family and those that loved her!!

Diane always made potica (patitza) with all her sisters from Crest Hill to Minooka. Diane I wish you the best. Joe Beno...
