Diana's husband Rich has been a life-long friend, a friend of my childhood days. We are both military vets. I first met his wife Diana in the summer of summer of 1971, she was 23 years old. Rich and I had just returned from active duty and have been in touch all our lives. I'm so sorry to hear of his loss, Diana's passing. I know she was loved by everyone who knew her, and certainly by myself and my wife Sue... the four of us had many great memories. Rich and I are both widowed now. My heart goes out to him, and their daughters. Diana was a blessing to us all, and the world is forever changed without her. She will be missed in life but fondly remembered in our hearts and prayers.
