It is wonderful to have that smile behind the counter again!
Diana Foland has returned to work as of October 14th. For those of you who don’t know she had just begun her second stint as a Caffè Mela barista when she was diagnosed with acute leukemia. After months of treatments including extensive chemotherapy to combat the condition she has made nearly a full recovery. If the photo doesn’t already tell you, Diana possesses an amazing optimism and determination which, along with her youth, were instrumental in her ability to conquer the cancer. It is indeed a splendid thing to have someone like Diana around. She puts us all at ease and even the grumpiest customers leave happy!

Diana, you are such a strong young lady! I am also an ALL survivor and I met your Mom on AOL. She thinks the world of you and is such a kind and generous person. I hope to meet you one days soon.

I have never met you Diana, but I have followed your relentless fight through cancer and you are to be much admired. I too had terminal cancer when I was only 19 years old, but the Lord healed me and I’m still here. You just keep your wonderful faith up and you will be an inspiration for others. Love to you and your family, Pixie Julian, Catherine’s Mother
