Diana: the world benefited from your selflessness. You spoke up when others were silent. You were always mindful of those in need and worked to fulfill those needs. Your efforts through the years to provide scholarships for young people provided the means they would not otherwise have had and enabled them to help others.
How you supported others will be remembered.
Yours in Daughters of Penelope,
Harriet Pontikes
