Thank you for reading and commenting Art. Diane was a hero for many. Her family created a bursary for second year law students at UBC. https://scholarships.studentscholarships.org/scholarship/4076/diane-kilpatrick-memorial-scholarship

At her celebration of life, they played Beatnik’s Party by Snakefinger.

It was like Diane to have friends snapping fingers at her funeral.
