My Dearest David,
I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. Cherish all those memories. If you need anything please don’t hesitate to give me a call! Love to you, Kathy Hrynuik & Family
So very sad and shocked with the news of Diane’s passing. Diane and I met through Leslie Park`s RT exercise class.`When Diane joined, she was called, `New Diane` and I became, Òld Diane`. We always shared a giggle or 2 when we were addressed by others. Rest in peace Diane. To the family, please know it was a pleasure to know her, if only for a short time. Sincerely, Old Diane
