Joe and family, I am so saddened to hear of Diane´s passing. My sincere condolences to you all. Back in 1984 Diane was one of my greatest mentors as I began a banking career. She had the biggest smile and warm personality. I remember learning so much from her and admiring her patience. We both grew in banking careers and at times our paths crossed. I so enjoyed seeing her and hearing about her life and family. We shared a love for animals, especially those four legged pups. May her soul Rest In Peace.
