"I am the person who originally notified you of Lynn Doniece Taylor's death. I was able to come up with the story of her death and date, 8/26/1990, at the link below. She was a wonderful lady. At one time she was my future wife in Los Angeles. We were very close friends when she was killed."

This Los Angeles Times newspaper article (8-26-1990) should correct, once and for all, all previous, erroneous information and rumors regarding Doniece Taylor's death. Doniece was a very nice and popular girl at OHS and was well liked by all who knew her. May she "Rest in Peace" knowing that she will always be fondly remembered "Forever in Our Hearts".John (Johnny) Henson
What a shame for a classmate to be killed by two teenagers for apparently nothing more than a joy ride in a sports car. I dated Doniece for a short time when she was a 9th grader and I was a brand new sophomore at OHS. Afterwards we remained friends. I felt we lost an outstanding friend when I learned of her death and I found that most of those who knew her didn't seem to know much more than I did. After giving it a lot of thought I decided to find out exactly what happened, and I did. I shared the information with Ralph and he decided to post it on our website so that those who are interested would finally know how we lost Doniece. May she rest in peace.Johnny Henson
