My sincere sympathy to Adriana´s family and her huge circle of friends. I met Diana on my first Day at work for KaMMCO and she welcomed me with open arms. We became a group of the "KaMMCO 5" who kept in touch with lunches, dinners or other important dates and was dubbed asa "Lady Di" which fit her perfectly´. She had an enduring smile and always had a hug ready. You are lovingly missed.
