Dana touched my life in such a pivotal way and as I just learned today of her crossing the bridge I am still in a fog. The last time I spoke with Dana was in May and I am glad we had a hug and completion although I had no idea that was what was to come. Dana had a way of helping people see their own uniqueness that sometimes they need such a mirror view. God gained another Angel and we are blessed to have known her and will continue to feel her presence at time of need.

Dana was truly an amazing and wise woman. There was just a sense of peace about her. She had helped me through a lot over the last several months, and I wish I would have known she was sick to help her as well. She was truly a blessing to many people and will be missed. Danielle and family- you are in my thoughts and prayers.
