We became friends at Loretto Abbey in 1981, then closer friends over the years. We grew up together, supported each other, danced, laughed and cried together. Time and distance may have separated us but when we connected, it was like time had stood still. Diane is part of me and always will be. I have loved her and our friendship since grade 9. She will always and forever be in my heart. Condolences to the Geleff and Conocchioli families.
