She became the gold standard of care and her co-workers always admired her for that. When Diane wasn't working her passions were her family, friends and beloved dogs, Coco Frank. Diane was a staunch NY Yankees fan. During the last 6 months Diane was able to check four places off her bucket list that she always wanted to visit. She first took a train trip to Sedona, AZ visited the Grand Canyon; she then traveled to Sarasota, FL to see her beloved Yankees at Spring Training Camp; she went onto visit family in Las Vegas, Nevada and finally spent a week in Maine overlooking a beautiful river where she could sit out and enjoy the sun with her family and pups.
