So Sad. I remember when Bonnie, Bessie, Jeannine, Diane, Bill, my mom Aunalie & I all use to bowl in Mechanicsburg @ Goshen Lanes beside Bessie & Bob Sollars house. I will miss seeing Diane at the Goodwill Stores in Springfield. We'd been running into each other & talking again. We will ALL miss her, but she's in Heaven now. My heart & prayers are with her Family.
