Diane, your memory will never leave me. I especially remember you and I sitting on the steps of Middletown High and promising each other that we would make the honor roll. Also our days at LRV and working in tobacco as teens. I think of you often and am saddened that you have left us. My deepest sympathies to Carolyn (whom I always remember as being so beautiful) and to your other brothers and sisters. Heaven is your happiness now.
