You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I have lots of memories with Aunt Diane, or as the boys used to call her “Aunt Tumbleweed” from fun filled days in OCNJ, sitting around the fire at Hickory Run, or any family gathering, her smile was bright and her laugh contagious. She is loved beyond measure, and will truly be missed.
