Dear Lygia and Nolan I am so sorry to hear of the death of Dana. He came to my home a couple of times in North Haven but both times I wasn't home. The first time he saw and spoke to my husband Guy but I had had a bad car accident and was in the hospital and the second time I was at therapy so I missed his visits. I feel so bad that I never got to see him. He was a great guy and we were good friends in high school. He will always be in my memories and my prayers. I'll keep you both in my prayers too. He will be greatly missed. Deepest sympathy from Linda and Guy Bimonte
