From the Alumni House:
It is with great sadness that we report the death of Diane Williams Fosco. She passed away suddenly in her home on December 24, 2009. We will truly miss Diane and her wonderful spirit. Her devotion to Moravian College never diminished from the time she graduated until her death. She was an active alumna who not only attended many alumni and college events but who volunteered on committees such as the Alumni Weekend committee, the Lehigh Valley Alumni Home Club, and the reunion planning committee; whenever help was needed Diane was there to lend a hand. Diane was always proud to say she graduated from Moravian College. As many of you may know, Diane’s best friend Denise Maday Greiner, passed away in November. Days before her passing, Diane sent us this wonderful tribute she had written about her friend, Denise. Diane is certainly missed by the many people whose lives she touched.
From Diane:
A light like the Star of Bethlehem has gone out in this world. Her name was Denise Maday Greiner. She was brilliant, according to Dr. Burcaw she completed the New York Times cross word puzzle at his house in ink during the practice sessions for The College Bowl. Even at the end of her life, she and her daughter Jennifer were winning prizes in Trivia contests every week by beating teams of six in New Jersey where she spent the past year.
She was joyful and loved to dance and to sing in her church choir also serving on Council many years. She was gentle, tending to children, flowers and pets with the same care she gave to everyone she met. She was compassionate always ready with a supporting hug and shopped in the thrift stores for clothing she mailed overseas to the less fortune in third world countries. She was faithful, a real Christian whose deeply held beliefs were lived out in her daily existence.
In short, Denise was beautiful inside and out, an example of the best specimens our Creator has given to the world. And she was my best friend from the first time we met in Spanish class in the third floor of Comenius Hall with our dinks and placards through many wonderful years of camping, cutting Christmas trees with our daughters and bragging about our grandchildren.
I believe the quote is from Camus and goes something like this: Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend. And so she walked with us and now with our Lord.
The below remembrance of Denise was sent in by Johann Michael Miklos:
“As a foreign student at Moravian , I must go back and remenber the great human being that was Denise, it was one of the persons that always had a friendly conversation in the Union Building. It is sad for me and certaily for my friends Jim Keim and Charles Miller boh class of 69 that we lost a companion of the Golden years at Moravian. Certainly we will meet in the future when we both will be spiritual travellers.”Posted 11/12/09
