I’m so sorry for your loss, it was an honor being one of Dee’s caregivers. I have so many memories with her! From bringing her DQ on her birthday, to her playing with my long hair, then her lecturing me about cutting it! Ahh, good times! Whenever I was having a bad day, I’d go sit with her and just soak in all her love she had to offer. I will forever cherish her & be thankful for getting to know her!

Larry and I offer our heartfelt condolences to Diana Colucci and her family.. We knew Diana, who cared for our two children many years ago in Minnesota, before we moved to California. From that experience we know that Diana’s loving ways could only have flowed from a mother who was extraordinarily full of heart.
