Dear John and Andrew, John and Leona and family
Learning of Dianne death this morning brought thoughts of you and the hurt you are feeling.
I also remembered meeting Dianne in 1984 and how her cheerful nature made for fun times in the Clinton OMAF office. I thought about how close she was with you Brian–from 4H visits to the office it was obvious you were important to each other. I thought about Dianne&&single&&s warm professional approach during the various work contacts (mainly on the phone) I had with Dianne over the years after I left Clinton. I thought of the JF square dance team from the mid 1980s, and the fun John, you and Dianne, Allan and the others had.
My thoughts and prayers are with you that you will find the strength day by day you need. Dianne&&single&&s courage and positive outlook through the last few years will be a very important memory, and may you draw strength from those memories, for yourselves and for Andrew.
Sincerely,
Karen, Russell, Nathania and Michaela
