To Diane´s Family, Susan & Martina I offer my deepest sympathy in your loss and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I have so many precious memories of time spent together when we were at OLH and high school. Some of the best times of my life. It seems like just yesterday when Diane gave Communion to my Mom at St. Nicholas. So many memories. Again I am so sorry for your loss.
