When you and Diane first started dating your sister was sooo overprotective and said, "she better treat Johnny good" .......well, I'd say that Diane more than did that. You two shared a long marriage and Diane really did treat you well and loved you so very much! She was a very caring wife, and now she can watch out for you with Marnae, from Heaven.
