Diane was in the same Book Club I was in for years. Somehow I impressed her because I had read Wilkie Collins book The Moonstone. I will always remember her thoughtfulness, knowledge, kindness and amazing spread she'd put out for us. Shrimp? For Book Club? Of course. That was just her. Diane is amazing!
