    I worked with Dianne at St.Joe’s emerg and oh, the shifts we had when she was working!! Within minutes of her stepping foot in the department, we’d have an onslaught of patients, on foot and by ambulance! Dianne handled it all with skill and humour and we’d run ourselves ragged giving the best care! Always weird, wild, and wonderful shifts! Dianne touched so many lives thru her nursing career…. I’m holding you close to my heart thru these difficult days! 💔
