My heart is heavy this week as I lost my dear cousin Diane, with whom I grew up and shared both good and bad times. I will cherish the memories of our time together and will always think of her when I make my sour cream nut coffee cake, for which she gave me the recipe when I was only 7 years old. May she rest in peace.
