Barry posted a condolence

My condolences to the family. I met Diane in Vancouver at the Wild Birds Unlimited store in Vancouver. I was an employee, I asked her for her name to see if she was in our computer, she was. Then I asked a bold question. "Are you related to the Hopkins of the Mayflower, yes she was. Her ancestor was Constance Hopkins who married Nicholas Snow. Constance had a brother Stephen who was my ancestor. So, Diane and I are distant cousins. She was a delight to talk to and obviously we both an interest in feeding backyard birds. Then I always referred to her as Cousin Diane.
I will miss her, even though I had not seen her in years as I retired from the store in 2016.
