I saw Dana's aunt had passed away and was saddened to learn she had passed away several years ago and much too early. Dana was in one of my science classes at Manchester High School and her signature in my 1979 year book is one of the fondest memories I have when I look at the signatures I have from classmates.

To the Husereau and Sibrinsz families, I am so sorry for the sudden loss of Dana. I spent a lot of time with her when she and I were young and growing up on Campfield and some of my fondest memories are of those spent with her. I have a scar on my hand that is even more special now and it is from a silly thing us kids did back in the day of rubbing the back of our hands until we bled or couldn't handle much more pain (or something odd like that). Dana was truly a good person as a child and an adult.

Patrick and family:
I was devasted when I heard of Dana's death. She was one of my closest friends during those awkward middle school years. She actually made life bearable; always with a joke, laughter or simple smile. Any memory I have of Dana.. she always involved laughter. I saw him a few years ago when my dad died, and even at that time, she made me smile. I am so sorry for your loss. Dana was truly a special individual.
