Tommy Lockard and I used to go to Luther League at Augsburg Luthern Church where Diane's dad was the minister and a really neat man. Diane seemed to gravitate to Tommy and I as friends.We were always hanging out together like two brothers and a sister. We could talk to her and confide in her about anything. Tommy and I both really liked her, and even in our older years we spoke about her and wondered how she was doing. She seemed like one of us. What a great girl! I always hoped we could see each other in our older years and tell some of our old fun stories - but sadly, it was not to be.
This is truly a shock. It saddens me that I did not maintain contact with Dianne. Our fathers were ministers, our mothers were best friends, and we were neighbors on Hyde and Overbrook Avenues. Dianne was a bridesmaid in my (first) wedding, but we lost touch after that. She was a lovely person.
