3/12 again from Bill Grote-- What a beautiful celebration of the life of Dariel van Wagoner at St. John's! I know Dariel was an active participant.
I wish I'd remembered at the reception to tell Dariel and John's Naval Officer grandson that when he was born, Dariel told me during a choir rehearsal break that she thought he looked like "ET", who was then the rage. When I asked Dariel a few months later id he still looks like "ET", Dariel didn't recall the ET comment.
What a pleasure and honor to have known Dariel van Wagoner!.

Dear John,
We are so glad that we had the opportunity to get to know Dariel over the years. We quickly came to appreciate her keen intelligence, hersense of humor and her appreciation for the finer things in life. As the Jewish liturgy says: her soul is forever entwined with those of the living. We will miss her.
May you be comforted in your loss.

Being at a Dariel and John Van Wagoner event at their home in the woods on the Potomac was like having a peek into a day in heaven.. Partaking of Dariel's cassoulet was like being treated to a heavenly banquet.
At the service for Steve Elgin, Dariel told me that see thinks of me whenever she looks at the wedding rings cross (from the Cathedral shop) I had given her and John for their 25th wedding anniversary celebration in the parish hall.
It was a privilege and a pleasure to have known Dariel!

Memories from 1959- 1966
We were always visiting your house, and for some reason my Mom would always get the car stuck in your driveway when it snowed. Uncle John was usually there to bail us out. U always had a big hug and a kiss for me, and cookies. Being the appliance repair geek I became later in life, u never hesitated to let me watch the old Westinghouse Laundromat washer that was older than ours ! ( to keep me occupied while the adults mingled n drank...) Loved your Sunshine Yellow GE kitchen too !
I'm so glad I reconnected with you and Uncle John last year. I never saw u after 1966. And to assure my God Mother....Yes, I got it !
Luv u!!
