Life is a mystery. My daughter asked me this evening that she wants to see Grandma Diane and there you go. Death has conquered humans, great men, the Amazons but not their names. Diane, your name remains forever engraved in our hearts, my wife, my two boys Muhamad and Hamid and my daughter who bears your name. We miss you but we know you are happy where you are.
Stay Bless Diane Dante.
Bouba from Burkina Faso.

Sandy, I am so sorry to learn of Diane’s passing. She was my first crush at age 13 and she’s always been special to me. So sorry. Attached is a picture from my Bar Mitzvah.
