Diane Ott

Dear Richard, Bryan, Michelle, Roy, Brad , Ross and Rochelle and Annette,
I am so sorry to hear of Diane's passing. I can not express my sadness at your loss of a wonderful wife , mother and sister. Diane and I met in second grade and from that time on I have considered her one of my closest friends. Because of distance we did not keep in close contact over the years but came in and out of one another's lives when we met at school reunions or cards at Christmas. It was always as if we had just spoken the day before. I remember when she told Dianne Morales Crago and I at lunch one day about meeting Richard the first time and how excited she was. Those conversations continued through the years as your family increased and she announced the birth of each of you with joy and pride and shared all of the family happiness. Rochelle and
Annette I know how much she loved you and valued your love in return. I always valued the way your family made me feel at home as we were growing up. Her love for all of you was so obvious and deep and enduring as she shared her stories of family that it will endure even though she is no longer here in body. She will always be with you in spirit and memory and her support of you will always be there for you to lean on. I shall greatly miss my friend and will pray that you continue to find peace and love during this time and all the future years.
Sincerely, Kathleen Tinsley Crago
