We were both very saddened to hear about Diane’s passing. She was a wonderful lady and great friend to both of us. When we moved back to Dickinson in 1977, we met Diane and Mac thru their son David’s participation in Gator football. Kathy enjoyed her visits with Diane at football games and their long talks at the grocery store and other places in town. After becoming a State Farm agent, they became long time customers and I enjoyed our visits at the office. Diane will be missed by all that new her.
