Diane offers her deepest thanks to their children, Shari Bowling, Nick, Tony and Callie Coston, for their constant support and help under extremely difficult circumstances. Also, special thanks to Norm Weisman, who initiated Kyle's care, and Mike Elsass, Chip Kennedy, Bob Rhoads, Alex Luque, Dave and Mary Jordan, Tim Cruso, Charlotte Secrest, Cathy DiGiorgio, Dale and Sue Pleiman, for their extraordinary friendship.
