Diane Taber

I just reread the feelings of loss by Dian's friends. They gave a beautiful tribute to a woman's life and the personal impact to each regarding her untimely passing.

Her passing affected no one more than her 3 grown children. They had come to a beautiful time in a mother's life. The ability to make friends with those now grown children. This knowledge of loss has made the pain much deeper. For me to see the beautiful and loving citizens created by the love of 2 people has...

I just received an email that said 'Remembering Diane' leave a message. So, I will. I can't tell you how often the thought of her will just enter my mind. I would say for a number of years working together....she was my 'Happy Place.' Like everyone has stated; she was warm, engaging, friendly, funny, accepting, told great real life stories but with humor. When she did that it showed me that you don't have to live in the painful past. You can have those types of memories as stories,...

I just learned that Diane died. We were single mothers together in Marin...a hard time for both of us, but we supported each other and got through it together. Then we went our separate ways and I finally lost track of her. I'm sorry to know she is gone.

Every now and then when I think of Diane I get on the internet to try and find something about her. I only found out she passed away by a fellow co-worker and it was years when I heard. I loved her too and worked with her at Boeing for years in the same room locked in together because it was shhhh.... security. Oh my goodness the stories she would tell me and keep me entertained as we worked. Like everyone else has said, she was unique, fun loving, accepting, really interested in each...

Last week was Diane's birthday and I've been thinking about her a little more than usual. I really miss our talks and our friendship. Re-reading this site is helpful and just makes me realize that Diane was very special to lots of people. I hope my prayers will help her family and friends during this holiday season. I know this is a difficult time. Diane is truly missed.

My kids and I and certainly Charlene will miss Diane very much. Charlene had an incredibly strong bond w/ her who she leveraged frequently for motherly advice and just plain conversation. I suspect that Sabrina, Mica and Jace don't fully realize how lucky they were to have such a wonderful and caring grandmother. She never forgot to send them a note, visit them or call them on birthdays, special events or holidays. She made sure that every moment with them was special and full of life.

I, for the most part, grew up in Cocoa Beach and upon entering 9th grade had the great opportunity to meet a good friend, Carridad Taber. Of course with meeting any good friend, you soon meet their entire family. With that said, I met an amazing person, Diane, who at the time of course was a parental figure, but I appreciated her willingness to relate to us at a young age. She was very clear as to her values and boundaries for us “kids”, but she made us feel welcome and that our opinions...

I first met Diane in Feb. 2007 when she walked in to our Open House at the Plaza in Pacific Beach. The three of us (My husband Mike, Diane, and I) hit it off immediately. We sold her a condo at the Plaza, but she was more like a sister than a client. Diane was the kind of friend you could tell anything and everything to. She had so much class, you knew whatever you told her would remain between you and her. I loved the caring and honest (sometimes painfully so)advise she gave me, and will...

I met Diane in the mid 1980's when I was working proposals (for BAO) in Cocoa Beach, FL. We immediately hit it off. She always made me laugh. She was one of my best friends and I will truly miss her. She had such an optimistic attitude and was a very good listener and offered great advice. When she moved from FL to CA, she stopped by our house in TX, her car loaded down with everything, including a pair of birds! I visited her several times in CA and she had plans to stop in TX when she...
