I am heartbroken to hear of this, having known Diane most of my life. She was always such a positive, uplifting person, and I will always remember her kindness and talent for singing as we shared choir class in high school. Till we meet in heaven, prayers going out for her sons and granddaughters and all the family. Many hugs to all!
