DANA GERHARDT

So, here I am, finally. Do you remember the time you looked at my shoes in class and said you had never seen me wear the same pair of shoes twice in the three years of ASL classes we took? Before our CPK dinners, you could find me in the shoe department in Nordstrom's... and then I got YOU to the makeup counter. Did you ever get that eye brow pencil you wanted??? I know! Dana and makeup! Do you remember that lady that helped us that night? You didn't end up buying from her because she...

Besides being a beautiful redhead, she was a beautiful person. Dana was the trainer for our wrestling program at Montana State in the 80's. Her title didn't quite cover what she did for 18-22 year old guys who needed guidance, an ear or a reminder of why we were at college. I will always remember her word of the day calendar. She mentioned that this was her reminder to never stop learning. Rest in Peace my friend you have done yourself and family proud!

Dana was my condo neighbor right beside of me. I am shocked that she has died. I am so sorry for her family. She was the most quiet neighbor anyone could ask for, I will definitely miss her! Still shocked!

I was an athletic training student at the University of Illinois in the 70's under Dana's tutelage. She was a great role model and mentor, especially for women in the field. My condolences and prayers to all her family and friends.

I worked with Dana at the University of Illinois. We were part of the Sports Medicine Staff in the middle 70's. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers to the family.

Dana was my "pew" buddy during early service at church, my house/cat sitter while out of town, and most importantly, my FRIEND. I still can't believe she is gone. My prayers go out to all her family.

She was a very special person who touched many lives....we will miss her.
