    Condolences from Cayman Islands My family and I are very saddened by the news as we personally knew this wonderful young woman. Our heart goes out to her only child; her son, for whom she laboured and toiled to provide a better life. RIP Diane, you will be missed dearly and we will be praying for your son and loved ones during this time. Shaking my head in total disbelief.
