Francis,
I was so shocked to learn of Diane's passing in the newspaper. I can hardly believe she is gone as I am sure that you and your family feel much the same. I will never forget the wine dinners at Fire & Ice, Bobbywood and Le Chambord where we all shared food, wine and great friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today and always. We have lost our brightest star and most beautiful flower.
Love,

Dear Fran,
I am so saddened to know Diane passed away. You two were such a beautiful couple that we always enjoyed being with at NASA picnics, Christmas parties, and big celebrations such as your 40th anniversary. We always looked forward to your stories of travels, your gourmet and wine interests, and your volunteer work. Diane was a sunshine lady with amazing personal strengths who smiled and gave to all who were around her. Please know that you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this time of grief. May the memories of her love to you bring strength and peace in your heart.
