DIANE SELIGMAN
Diane was a beautiful, loving, and giving person. She touched and inspired all who knew her.
As a teenager in the 1960's, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease and was the lone survivor in a large experimental treatment group. Against the odds and medical advice, she gave life to and raised a son and a daughter.
She passed away on Feb 27,2004 from respiratory complications caused by the radiation that had originally helped to save her.
Diane lived in the moment, in the flow, in harmony with the life force & source with grace and dignity. She was grateful for every day.
