To the family of Dianne (Burns) Wilson
I have a vivid memory of Dianne back in about 1974 when she was working at Seaforth Hospital. My daughter was critically ill and had to be transported Code 4 to London. As we were rushing out the door to get in the ambulance, Dianne approached me with tears in her eyes and said, “She will be ok Mrs. Rowland, she will be ok.”
I had taught Dianne and her brother some years before at St. James School and she knew/remembered me from there. I feel she wore her heart on her sleeve—a very caring person. May she be at peace.
