Childhood friends when we were 10 or so in Lakeport. My sister, Valerie, just sent me the message. Saddened to hear this news. Dana fleets through my memories of times when we used to walk to Chopper Chicken from her home up on Lupyoma in Lakeport. I remember laughing a lot with Dana. May you all find solace in warm tears and strong hugs. ~Toni (Trevellick)

I have been away from FB for a long time and was shocked to hear of Dana's passing. She made me laugh more than anyone at NHOH, was always there with food, and was always willing to help, no matter what was going on. I love her dearly and am praying for her family. Dana was one great girl and will always have a special place in my heart!
