We were blessed to have Diane & Cousin Dan part of our family for many years. Family celebrations were so special when we were together. Diane was a wonderful joy to be around and so upbeat these last few years despite her poor health. We all will miss her and the memories are precious. Tom & Cheryl (Takala) Schmidt Family
