Diane Becker Krasnick has been married to her best friend Marc for over 37 years. They have two lovely daughters, Jessica and Meredith. Diane and Marc currently live in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI), where Diane is a Cantorial Soloist and licensed wedding officiant.
In 2000, before I was diagnosed, I began serving as the High Holiday Cantorial Soloist for Congregation Beth Israel in North Adams, Massachusetts. Right now, I serve as the first year-round Cantorial Soloist/Educator for the Hebrew Congregation of St. Thomas in the USVI, my dream job, and I am also a licensed wedding officiant in the USVI.
Despite the odds against me, I’ve known how to live each day as if it were my last.
Many thanks to Diane and Marc, for the wonderful mitzvah of sharing your story and encouragement with others. Sharing your experience helps educate others and inspires women to stay on track with annual mammograms, clinical exams, and positive attitudes.
