My Darling Niece Dayna, It's been 8 months and 8 days and I think of you every day. I love you and miss you sooooo very much. there is an abyss in my heart that opens at the most unexpected times with longing to hear your voice that's not just a memory. I took a bunch of pictures from when you & Denise were here the summer you were 13. All the poser shots on the boat at Anclote Key, that we had so much taking, for your Mom & Dad & Denise. I missed seeing and staying with you & Victor when I was there in July and Aug. Meredith was a great help, we talked of you and laughed and cried. Niece Denise says Ian picks up your picture and says 'Auntie'. He's a sweet little boy with your temper. We ALL love and miss you terribly. XXooXXXo Auntie Sharon ( with tears in my eyes) <3 <3 <3

My prayers are with the entire Lund family...may the Lord help ease all the heavy hearts out there thinking of and remembering Dayna. The Earth has lost such a bright,amazing and beautiful ray of sunshine....which has now gone to heaven. Dayna could completely light up the room and her genuine love was so strongly felt...it radiated off her. There are no words to describe how much Dayna will be missed. I will think of her everyday for the rest of my life. She was an angel here on earth and the Lord has called her home...too soon unfortunately. Much love forever and ever beautiful!

I send my sympathies for all those who loved Dayna. I am heartbroken that a life ended way to soon but I am comforted to see all the lives that Dayna touched! I know she is seeing all the people that will miss her greatly.

I have been praying in Dayna's name the eternal rest prayer.

Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Dayna was a year ahead of me in high school and exactly a year older than me (we share the same birthday). Her spunk and charisma attracted me to her. She was someone I wanted to be like. I was happy to see her on Facebook years later though it's difficult to truly reconnect after so many years and distance. She seemed to be successful just like I knew she would be. I really wish I would have told her how special she is. To her family, there's likely nothing anyone can say to lessen your pain. I pray that you will find peace. Know that there are tons of us out there thinking of you.

Aunt Melanie, Uncle Bob, and Denise,
My words cannot describe the sorrow I feel over Dayna's passing, and I want to wish you all of my strength and love throughout this difficult time. I will always remember Dayna's beautiful smile and her awesome laugh, which I was so lucky to hear the last time I saw her. Dayna was a beautiful person inside and out, and although we were not able to spend much time together, she always sought me out at our big family gatherings and made time to catch up. Even as I write this, thinking about her makes me smile through my tears, and I know Dayna would rather us smile than cry. I'm sorry I cannot be with you this weekend, but please know I am praying for you and will be thinking about you all. All my love, always.
