I'm so sorry for your loss, my sincere condolences to the family. I met Diane on the bus commute we took to and from Cincinnati. There was a camaraderie and friendship a group of us shared through those long hours. As people retired, one of the ladies organized a breakfast where we meet twice a year at various restaurants to catch up on each other's lives. This picture is from our last breakfast in April. We will miss Diane.

My heart is heavy as I remember Di as a lifelong friend growing up together one street away in Middletown. Our neighborhood gang was fun loving, caring, and interacted daily from morning to night. She was a gentle soul who deserves eternal peace and happiness. Fond memories will forever live on.
