Bob, Jeff, Greg, and all the family:
"With our Deepest Sympathy at this difficult time of your loss." Diane bravely fought her many battles with her health, and the tragic loss of dear Kristin. She was a strong & very caring, thoughtful, and most creative/artistic person! She thrived on enjoying her grandchildren. Diane was "my Maid of Honor" at our Wedding, October 29, 1960. She "sewed & made" my Wedding Crown & Veil :>)) We knew each other throughout High School and living in the same southside neighborhood of Chicago. May all of you know God's peace, strength, & comfort. John 14:27 Isaiah 40:31 Our loved ones live on in our cherished memories. "Happy Birthday, Diane, as you spend it in Heaven, with the Angels, your Kristin, your Mother, and many other loved ones...!"
Love & Prayers,
Lynn & Raymond Hendrickson
Tinley Park, Illinois 60477

Dear Bob, Jeff & Greg.....I was so saddened to hear of Diane's passing, my deepest sympathy to you & yours. Because of our children we became great friends and neighbors. Along with that came some great memories...scouts, scrabble, Indiana Beach, parties, shopping, to many to mention. But the one that I will always treasure are the little picnics that Diane and I would throw together then pile all the kids in the car and be off fishing to the "Lucky Tree" in Marquette Park. I know she will be deeply missed, but she is now at peace. God's Blessings to you all.
