Diane was a special lady. At the end while enduring pain she sent love and thanked her family and friends for being a part of her life. I like to think of her pain free and back with Rod, who is also pain free, enjoying their rewards in heaven. My prayers go out to Diane´s family and friends who will miss her. My name is Diane Moyer and I am the sister of Mary McNamee, Pats wife. I know they loved both Rod and Diane and have many memories. Rest in peace Diane
