Dear Jim and family,
Although we have been out of touch for some time, we have fond memories of Diane. We remember her thoughtfulness when she knit the cutest pink booties for our baby Gretchen who is now 37 with babies of her own.
Please know that we are thinking of you and your family as you mourn the loss of Diane.
