I was so sorry to hear that Diane had passed. I worked with her for a short time and really enjoyed her as a manager and friend. She was one of the good ones for sure and she'll be missed. My deepest sympathies to her husband and family.

Since she was important to Larry, she was important to us. A salutation to her was included Saturday, and a contribution will be made to Little River in her name. See you next year, and we will carry her with us yearly like we do Gary, Larry, and others. Our deepest sympathies.
