I miss you so much dear, dear friend. You brought so much joy to my life.
Diana, Aaron and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I spent a lot of time at your house and your mom was always very sweet to me. I am praying that you all find peace during this sad time. Jody and Holly send their love and condolences.
With Love

Bill and the family of Dinah,
My sincerest sympathy on the passing of Dinah. Dinah and I were long time friends/ We used to take long walks through the neighborhood and we would solve all the problems of the world. I always looked forward to these walks and I miss her dearly. May she rest in peace.
My cousin Dinah was a sweet person that I’ve known since I was a small child and whom I wish I had gotten to know better. A lot about the way she looked reminded me of my own mother Juanita, her aunt (her mother Pearl’s half-sister).
Always loved seeing her at Winstanley- so happy and kind! Thinking of her family..
