Diana,
You are the most gorgeous woman in the world. I watch the news every morning because of you. You do such a good job and I can really relate to you. I sure would love to meet you face to face and just to get a photo taken with you that would be really cool. You are one very remarkable woman and your husband is the luckiest guy in the world. I wish that I was that lucky and had someone like you but God will put someone in my life sooner or later.
Hope to hear back from you, Diana. Have a great day.
Your friend,
Steve.
They are both equally beautiful women and requires no unnecessary comparison.
This would almost be accurate accept this is not a picture of Diana Rocco it’s Andrea Grimmes from CBS2. Diana is much prettier.
You can see that is not a picture of Diana Rocco, Diana Rocco is so much prettier.
That’s not a picture of Diana, who I’m pretty sure is in her early 30’s.
Love your Reporting!
Great job!
Wish I could meet you!
