Michael, I never met Diane. However, I have fond memories of our discussions about Jesus Christ and salvation through faith in him. It´s been many decades since we last spoke, but you have been in my thoughts and prayers whenever friendships of the mid 1970´s come to mind. May God bless you with lasting memories of Diane´s love for you, as well as her apparent example of faith in action. I hope we are able to reconnect.

Diane was a classmate from high school. She was always polite and very intelligent. I enjoyed chatting with her back then. Sending my heartfelt sympathy to her family. May she rest in peace.
