Diane Sadler

Diane passed away on August 12th. She was a noted local historian and Director and Curator at the Historical Society of Frankford.

We were heartbroken to find out that our beloved Diane Sadler passed away. She was a joy to work with in our film and was a true historian. In her honor, we have put together a short In Memoriam of a clip that was never released. It shows her love for history, her humor, and what a beautiful human being she was. She will be missed by many people. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends, and may she rest in peace.  Jason Sherman, filmmaker, The King’s Highway

 

Local history activist John Buffington commented, ‘No one has ever been as devoted for as long or as diligently to Frankford history as Diane Sadler. She was an inspiration to us, and we will keep at it. But Diane will be sorely missed.’

Services will be held at Emmanuel Resurrection Episcopal Church, 8201 Frankford Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19136 on Tuesday, August 24th at 11:00 A.M. Church will be open for Viewing and Greetings at 10:00 A.M. No flowers please. Donations can be made in Diane’s name to The Historical Society of Frankford, P.O. Box 4888, Philadelphia, PA 19124. .

Broken Heart

Broken Heart

If love was looking for a place to live, why can’t it move into your heart.
You have the time, the space, and grace to give it a start.
The reason why love can’t move into my heart,
Because love used to live here and it tore my heart apart.

So, if it’s looking for a new place to live let it move into your heart.
You have the time, the space, and grace to give it a brand-new start.
So, the answer to your question, love can’t live here anymore,
Because it tore my heart apart, and I refuse to let love function – in my broken heart.
