Everyone she has met holds a memory of Diane they surely won’t forget whether it was karaoke, bingo, her “bite me” catch phrase, or hanging out by the pool with a mudslide. Her energy, laughter, and love will never be forgotten. Friends will be received on Wednesday from 6-8 P.M. Thursday 2-4 and 6-8 P.M.
