Rob, Larissa and Families, My sincere condolences to you and your families on the passing of your Mother. You may not remember me but my late husband John worked with your Dad at C&M Transport and we became friends with your Mom and Dad and we visited with them many times at the farm. Over the years after your parents left the farm and our families grew I lost contact with your Mom. Your Mom was always so friendly and full of fun. I always enjoyed my visits with her. Cherish your memories of her to help you through this sad time. Rest in peace Diane. Sincerely, Helen Lyons
