I will always treasure the times I was able to drive Diane to her appointments. What might have seemed like ordinary trips became truly special moments, filled with her stories — especially about the horses she loved so dearly. She shared memories of her childhood, spoke lovingly about her family, and reflected on the journey of her life. The drives never felt long enough!! They gave us time to laugh, to listen, and simply to enjoy each other’s company. I am so grateful for those moments and for the friendship we shared.
