Cathy, Diane was such a special friend at Wm. Holland Lapidary school. We had so much fun making jewelry. I have missed her.

When will I learn that "one more visit" with friends or family should never be put off? I wish I had one more visit with Diane. I'm so very, very grateful that I was able to enjoy her friendship for the time I did. Diane, and our circle of friends, had such great times and made wonderful memories. Was there ANYTHING she couldn't do? As with your children, you've made your mark. Your amazing spirit will linger long ......
