In the late 70s my mother and I went to volunteer at a function at the Centerville Community House in Beverly. I introduced her to my friend and neighbor, Diana Savoie. My mother, without blinking an eye and after speaking to Diana for just a few minutes said, “Diana, you light up the room.” I think those words have always summed up my feelings about Diana. She was a breath of fresh air to all of us and I will never forget Diana, Vinnie, Dawn, Tara or Craig and the special memories we shared long ago.
Vinnie, Please know that you have been in our thoughts and prayers. Maryann, Kristina, Nikki and I will all be holding your hand silently today. God Bless and may He guide you through this time of sorrow.
