So sorry for your loss. Worked with Diane many, many years ago at TG&Y. I in the fabric department and she in the office. Recall her wonderful sense of humor and quick laugh. We had so many common interest and I fondly recall our many conversations. May wonderful memories of a great gal provide comfort.
