To the family,

Diana was a great soup kitchen friend and volunteer. I looked forward to seeing her each week throughout my ten years of volunteering. We always had a good laugh over something. Lighthearted conversation and chit-chat about everthing and anything kept us company while we worked together to prepare the daily meals. Your mom was a wonderful person that will be deeply missed. I hope she did not suffer. My regards to all of you.

Sandra and family, your Mom was a great woman and I always looked forward to "Tuesdays at the Soup Kitchen" because that was her day to volunteer. I always felt blessed to be considered her friend. You and the grandchildren are in my thoughts and prayers.
