Dear Gene, Celeste and Christine, Bruce just called to let me know about Diana. I am so very sorry to hear of her death. Diana was a very special person. Bruce and I always had a great time whenever we got together with the Remillards! Last time we got together with Gene and Diana was in 2018, at the restaurant in Punta Gorda on Charlotte Harbor, along with Carol and Bill. I'll keep that good memory in my heart -- along with all the other good ones of Gene and Diana. I am thinking of you. Carol Brenneman (Downing) Kemp
