I met Dana-Victoria this year and Miss Casey Lu. She was a shining light and such a warm, loving person. My heart goes out to Brian and the rest of her family, she will be missed. Dana-Victoria and I shared a love of our labs, she told me that they are "love with a tail." I will never forget that nor will I forget her kind spirit.

Brian , it was our joy to spend time with both of you, camping and just having a good time....the one thing that has always stuck with us, is the faith and hopeful spirit that Dana always displayed and shared...the Lord used her in many lives, and now she is home with Him....she will be missed. May the Lord give you and your family His love, mercy and peace in the days ahead. Dale and Sandy Bigge
