Diana was a life long friend of the Shinn family. As summer visitors in a cottage down the road, we would see Diana frequently as she was a long time friend of our mother. My sincerest condolences to the family…she was a unique personality, well spoken with a quick wit. She will be sorely missed.
My sincere condolences to all that knew Diana.
I had the pleasure of meeting her and JP in the early 60. They treated like family. My summers were spent at their home, enjoyed every minute. Rented their cottage in the late 70. I was never far … I will miss Diana’s laughter and Witt.
