My deepest sympathy to the family of Diane Gosnell. I just heard about her passing from another Francisco cousin. I am her cousin in Michigan, so, growing up, we only got to see each other occasionally. We were the same age. Please remember the happy and loving times with her as shall I. The photo below is from the last time we met, at a Francisco reunion back in the eighties or nineties.

I had been trying to call like I do every year to wish her
happy birthday. We used to talk daily until she moved back to
PA. Sure hope the girls call me.
