April 8, 2022 at 5:17 pmChris and Dyanne had a love story that was wonderful to watch unfold. I am sorry for Chris’s loss and Dyanne’s passing but grateful that they found and loved each other. My contacts with Dyanne usually involved my picking up her spiedies order from Binghamton which I was happy to do! As so often has been said “may her memory be a blessing.”
