Dianna's family would like to thank Dr. David Crawford, her physician of many years, and the wonderful nursing staff on the 5th floor (Unit 1) at Seven Oaks General Hospital for all their kindness in caring for Dianna over the past two weeks. Pallbearers will be Gerry Besyk, John Stanko, Barry Besyk, Kenny Besyk, Todd Kachurowski and Kurt Tymchyshyn.

Dianna will be missed immensely by her children and grandchildren but will finally be joining Norm after numerous months of suffering and treatments.
