I grew up with Diane. We played softball, flag football and many other games together along with her brother Melvin during our junior high and high school years. She was a wonderful person, kind, considerate, and humbling. We lost touch with each other after I went off to college and I am just shocked she passed away. Diane's mother passed away at a young age(38) and I remember the day and week. I felt so bad for her and Melvin.  I know this wonderfull person is in heaven looking down on all of us and hoping she has the opportunity to see us again. Rest in Peace my friend.  

I had known Diane since we started 1st grade at Surrattsville Elementary School.  Years later, a funny thing happened when I enrolled my daughter into a preschool class.  First day of class I take my 3 year into classroom and then gathered with the other parents at the Welcome meeting the Director was conducting. There was Diane Tayman, it really is a small world.  Well, my daughter, Sarah and her daughter Virginia became friends and continued their friendship through the pre school, kindergarten and St John’s years (thru 3rd grade) and were in dance classes and Brownie troop together. It was great renewing our friendship as well.  She was a wonderful person and sorely missed.   Diane, May you Rest In Peace !
