Dear Roger and family,
I am saddened by the loss of my dear cousin. I will always have her in my heart and mind. I will never forget all the fun we had growing up and going to school together. I can still remember us always in trouble with the Nuns. I can see her smiling now, that great smile she always had no matter how difficult things may have been. Diane was a wonderful person and we will miss her dearly.
God bless you all,
Joe and Fran Giantomaso and family
