Silent Engines for Diane Wilson

[seajj2]

I am sad to announce Diane Wilson the wife of long time boater Jim Wilson passed away. She lost her 2 year battle with cancer. Diane is one of our great women in D9 that runs the show behind the scenes. She is the treasurer of our D9 district and the Model Mariners. She will be missed. RIP Diane. Announcement will come later for memorial services if that is possible with the current situation of the pandemic.

I talked to her once by phone and she was a very nice person. I am sure that she had a lot of friends that will miss her.

This is too much. I became really good friends with Jim, talked darn near every week. Then had the pleasure of getting to know Diane, such a wonderful person. When we lost him that was tough enough and now Diane?? Dammit. Please to anyone DON'T say how much worse can it get. Seems 2020 is taking that as a challenge........

The Lord has called Diane home to be with Jim at the boat pond. Rest in peace dear friends.

Ok the latest update. Services for Diane will be next year in the spring. Due to covid the number was going to be very limited. The family said that was not fair to limit the attendees. She had a lot of friends.

Knew Diane for as long as Jim was active in model boats. She was a wonderful lady and very active at the District 9 level as a score keeper. Diane asked me to be the leader for Jim's memorial service and I was honored. I have many pleasant memories of diners with Diane and Jim. She will indeed be missed.
