When i was advised if Diane’s passing i shed some tears and was thankful i had the opotunity to know her. When i was 16 she welcomed me with open arms and would treat me as a member of your family to which i am very grateful.
Leaving home at 20 years old i feel guilt for not being in contact with all of you more often. I did always ensure to get up Milton to see them both whenever i was home.
I am sorry for your loss.
