I was so sorry to hear of the passing of my dear friend from Village East. She was a sweet woman who was always so kind to my great-granddaughter when she would see her. I enjoyed our time together at the community bingo and also when she would come to my house with the bingo group after we moved. I know she is being missed by so many.
My sincere condolences to her family. I hope the memories you made with her will comfort you in the days and years ahead.

We were saddened to learn of Diane's passing. We always enjoyed our games of UNO with her, Gordie and Diane. And she loved showing off her fish.
Rest in Peace.
