    Rita, Benny and Rocco.

    I am so sorry for the loss of Diane. She was a good friend to me in the 70's and 80's, until we left Illinois. I always admired her strength. She made the best bread with a handful of this, and a pinch of that. May she rest in peace.

    Rita and Rocco,

    Sincere condolences on the loss of your fantastic mother. I always admired your mother’s caring and selfless nature. She was a true friend and someone who was always a pleasure to be with. Your mom had great humor which she kept  through the health struggles. She showed all of us what true courage and a positive outlook looks like. You two were her  biggest source of pride and joy. You BOTH showed her true unconditional love. I am so sorry for your loss.

    Benny,

    No one can ever replace the amazing person that Diane was. My thoughts are with you during this time.  I am so sorry for your loss.

    Diane was a truly good soul.  I will always remember her kindness and her smile. She was blessed with a family she loved.  While she leaves a hole in our hearts, she is out of pain. I am thankful she was my friend.

    Diane was a wonderful person. Always checking up on someone to make sure they were ok. She carried her illness well and when I saw her she would not want to talk about herself but of others. She loved her family more than anything else. I will miss seeing her around. ❤️
