My sincere condolences to Dan and your entire family. While I never actually met your Mom, Laurie and Kelly both had wonderful memories of her. I always looked forward to the times when Laurie would spend the day with Diana making tamales, as I was certainly going to reap the rewards! And Kelly remembers sitting at the kitchen table eating homemade tortillas with sour cream. She said Diana always made her feel like she was "just another member of the family". I know you will all miss her terribly. May your memories bring you comfort.
