Messages Of Condolence

What a privilege and joy to have Diane as my sister Growing up in the family with Mum Dad and June provided many happy memories and amusing stories not all reflecting well on me. Those early years before boy/girl friends came along gave us all a lasting foundation for adult life and our own families. Di was always kind, loving and caring to the extended families firm in her beliefs a great example to all who came into contact with her. We will all miss the love and friendship Diane shared.
