Dear David & your Whanau, I an so sorry to hear of Diane's fall and consequently her passing. Fond memories of Diane go back to the HB Marathon Club days ,not that I could always keep up with her. I had planned to attend her celebration of life but I got called up urgently to work. I know you will continue to share her stories with us at the tramping club.

David and family, I am saddened and shocked to learn of Diane's passing. life can be so cruel sometimes and this is indeed one of those times. I have the fondest of memories of Diane over the Rothman's years and indeed when ever our paths crossed subsequently.
Sadly I will not be able to attend her farewell as I am booked for double cataract surgery in the morning of that day.
Again my deepest sympathy for the loss of a wonderful woman.
