Over the last few weeks there have been 2 people who were remarkable in their own ways pass on from this world. Each woman was remarkable in their view of life and their desire to live it to the fullest.
Dianne, a person I've known since high school, was someone who lived her near 5 decades doing what she loved - teaching, scuba diving, and never afraid to take on a new challenge. Those who knew her well will miss her sense of humour and adventure. Though I was not close to Dianne, she was someone who was always a part of the lives of my close friends, and I saw the impact that she had on them, and she was always very warm and welcoming to me whenever I saw her. I know that she will be sadly missed by many.
My great aunt once described how she had white water rafted when she was in her late 70s. She then pulled a photo from a box of pictures showing her in the bow of a raft riding down a surging river. This was just one of the many adventures that she has taken during her long and exciting life. She was a truly remarkable woman who has been a wonderful part of the lives of all of the members of my family. The memory of her stories and her smile will bring warmth to my heart always, and I will sadly miss tea with her on my future visits to the UK.
