Angele and I are so sadden to hear this news at Fortier High School 50th reunion on Saturday April 7, 2018.

We send our heartfelt condolences to Bennie Jr., their children, and extended families. A year or so ago, we were fortunate to have had lunch with Dianne and Bennie, Jr. while visiting our family members in Louisiana.

I am so sad to hear of Dianne's passing. I worked with her on several occasions as a seminarian and as a priest. She even got me to volunteer at the ICC fair when I lived in Pierre Part. Loved her and will pray for her and the family.

It is with deep regret that I learned of the passing of Dianne. Our family's thoughts and prayers are with you. I will always be grateful for the friendship you all shared with our Brother Father Bob. Unfortunately because of his worsening mental condition he is unable to be with you at your time of need.
