Diane would like to let you know that her work here is done. She received a call when she was home on Thursday, November 19, 2020 at 9:20a.m. A sort of offer you can’t refuse and she will not be returning.
This new role grants her a reunion with family and friends she has not seen in a long time. Her new mission takes her to a wonderful place where she will be socializing, reading, sewing, doing crafts, and basking in the sun until her heart is content, with no pain. Laughter, good old fashioned banter, and love are guaranteed. The food is delicious and you never gain an ounce.
