I've had the honor of knowing Dana for almost 14 years. She was one of the best scrubs I ever knew. She trained me well. I just spoke to her a few months ago and was planning to get together with her when i return to oklahoma from a job assignment. This will not happen and i will not be able to come back for the funeral. Dana you were a fierce loving person. you were passionate about life and your family, all of us included. I will miss you so much and Glen as well. I know the angels are singing to both of you and you are healthy, happy, and loved.

My heart sank when I heard of Dana passing. She was beautiful inside and out! I was always her "my Em". A wonderful friend & co worker for over 13 years. I am a better person because of her no doubt! I was blessed to have her as a part of my life & know her sweet daughter Ashley. She always spoke so fondly of Ash, her brothers & her parents. Thankful for all I learned from her. I will always carry her close to my heart.
