Our hearts go out to the Drysdale and Finnerty Families. Diane was a great Aunt, not just to Matthew and Kelsey, but to all their friends. November soccer playoffs - 32 degrees, snow in the air - Diane was there rooting all those kids on. Chewing her fingernails and drinking her Dunkies like all of us. The times of our lives. It was through these beautiful friendships that we realized Weymouth would be home. It was a wonderful atmosphere for our children to grow up in - an extended group of people who loved and supported them. God bless you all.
