My siblings and I fell in love with Diane as our mother did. Mom and Diane were roommates during the very difficult Covid pandemic. As such they only had each other and became like sisters. Our mom passed 3 years ago but before she left us made me promise to continue to visit Diane. I kept that promise and enjoyed every moment with Diane. I was so sad to go for my regular visit to find she was gone. I will be forever grateful she was in my mother's life and ours. I am so sorry I wasn't made aware of her service.
