Ron's beautiful sister Diane. She handled herself with such beauty and strength. Diane the most kind and caring woman you would ever want to meet. I was so blessed to have her as a sister-in-law. She always looked for the best in people and would always be interested in hearing about how your life was going. Her life with her husband Bruce was a true love story. They were always together and their love always shined through. It breaks our heart that she is gone - we will miss her always. Love You Diane!
