I had the chance to take care of Dana and be part of her life. I watched at Children's World learning center for 2 years. Then when her mother was sick the first time with Cancer I was asked to help out with Dana. Dana was a very pretty young girl with a heart of gold. She always looked up to Alana and wanted to be just like her. The one thing that impressed me of Dana is how she would lay with her mother and make her mother smile when she was ill. She she gave her mother the of gift of forgetting that she was ill for a few moments by being happy while fighting her illness. Dana will leave a BIG hole in my heart because I know how much her mother meant to her and loosing her at a young age must have been hard. Dana now you are with your mom again. God bless you and you will be missed by all.
