LIving here in the USA (Florida) for about 14yrs. I only hear about former Colleauges passing much later.I worked with Dianne On Local Council and Regional. She was very Suppotive when I pushed for the first Courtice Complex and Chaired the same. When we moved to twin pad the Bowmanville Area she asked me if I would Chair it. Unfortunately I couldn't see it through it through to its conclusion as my term was expiring.. After announcing my retirement from politics prior to the end of my 3rd term, I supported Dianne for Mayor of Clarington and she was successful in her bid..After she retired from politics we talked on the phone. I have fond memories and  a lot of laughs from the time we spent together..God Bless Dianne's Memory... . .
