To the Leyse and Dunker family,
I had the privilige of working with Diane one summer as a camp counselor at Camp Tepeetonka. Her smile was angelic and her camp kids followed her around like little puppy dogs eager for each new adventure with her. She will be missed, however I am certain she has taken on a pair of wings in heaven and will spread much joy and goodwill to many others. Godspeed, Phil Olson
