Dear Lance and Todd,
I just found out your mom passed. Vinnie and I were on vacation. As you know I stopped by and visited her on July 24th. I am so glad of that now. Yor mom was such a fun person and good friend. Lori, Sandy and I will miss her alot. I am glad she did not have to lay and suffer and that God took her so soon after the final diagnosis. She would have wanted ot that way, she could not stand to sit or lay around as she was always busy, busy, busy. Myself, with so many others have had so many visits on the front porch when we lived near each other.I know she is watching over you boys now and the Chiefs. WE will be by soon to see ya.
Love, Diana
