DiNette,
I lived across the street from you on Cambridge in Corpus when I was 10 and knew your whole family. I have thought of ya'll many times. DiAnna was my best friend then and I was shocked to hear she's passed. She was so sweet and smart and pretty. So sorry to hear about your Mom and now your Dad. They were so kind to me and I loved your family. Peace to you.
