I am so sorry to hear of Diane's passing. I knew she and Steve at St. Agnes Church back in the early 70's. They were a wonderful couple and were very active in working with the youth at St. Agnes. Steve and family, please accept my sincere condolences at Diane's passing. She was a wonderful young woman when I knew her all those years ago and I still remember many fun times together. May she rest in peace.

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Diane tutored me over the summer months in middle school and I have never forgotten her positive impact. I lived around the corner and looked forward to our weekly sessions. I went on to excel and studied Math in college. I am forever grateful. What a remarkable woman! I hope your memories comfort you during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Barbara Campo-Enos

I'd like to extend to the McCue and Burke family the powerful gifts that this beautiful soul gave to me (a comforting smile and words of encouragement)
Mrs. McCue was passionate about math and extremely supportive to her students.
Her legacy has empowered generations. I miss her too!

I'm sorry to hear of Mrs. McCue's passing. I struggled terribly with math and my geometry class with your wife was the only one where I had success. Mrs. McCue was always so kind and patient and a wonderful teacher. May her memory be a blessing.
