My Grandmother, Diane C. Link, departed our world on Sunday, February 25, 2024, just five months after the loss of her husband, Marty Link. They had been together for 57 years. Diane is survived by five children, 12 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren, whom were all lucky enough to call her Nunny. The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

I have been a member of the Southwestern Ohio's Emerging Leader Board for the past 3 years, and I care very deeply about the impact that a wish can have with a child's recovery journey. My Nunny had some hardships throughout her life, but she endured through by promoting a unity in our family bond and keeping everyone together. She would be proud to see the lasting positive impact granting a wish has on a family, giving them a chance to spend time together and create joyful memories during one of the toughest times.
