Diane thankyou for our long friendship. We shared memories of our old school, Cashmere High. The 4 of us enjoyed meals together with John always the storyteller. You were so proud of your son David and your 2 grandsons. You were a passionate teacher and lecturer generous with your knowledge and skills. Di you gave in many ways to the community including the Alzheimers group. So glad you were back at home at your beloved beach. Love, Anthea.
