In her memory you can do the following: "Read a
good book while enjoying a fine glass of wine. Take in a play.
Visit a museum. Call an old friend you've not spoken to in a while.
Tend to your garden, and if you don't have one, start one. Forgive
someone who has angered you. Don't tear down, build up. Then somewhere
, Diana will be smiling."
