Becky, Steve and Cindy
I am so sorry for the passing of your Mom. Dianna was a wonderful, classy lady. I will always be grateful for her and your Dad's kindness and grace. She (and your Dad) taught me all about canning and I still use the equipment they got for me so many years ago! May the wonderful memories you all had bring comfort and healing.
