Dana Yancey

I think that cross beside the road is a nice tribute to Dana. It makes me think of her and how she use to make me laugh. It also makes me slow down a little as I get close to that stop sign. As my children are getting closer to driving age, I hope to God we never have to put another cross beside the road for one of my friends or family.

You are all in my thoughts today!

to Joanne:
There is never a day that goes by that I do not think about Dana. It is so hard to believe that Monday July 2nd we will have been without her for a year. I will never forget that beautiful smile or that one and only (very distinct) voice she had. I have been very sad about the whole accident ever since it happened and I guess I will always be. She is in a better place where she will always stay beautiful. Dana is missed by me everyday. I will be thinking of you on Monday.

this note is for Joanne....we know where Dana is and we celebrate her anniversary with our Lord Jesus Christ, so for Joanne keep looking up for He will soon be coming for you. You can trust Him even in the lonely and hard times without Dana here with you on this earth. But don't mourn for Dana anymore she wouldn't want you to live each day with sadness and defeat. Find the blesses in each day.
i'm here for you!

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Thinking of you on your Birthday and missing you always.....

Ms. Joanne

Words cannot express how sorry I am about what happened to Dana. I think of her all the time. I still do not understand why it was Dana. She was a wonderful person and had become one of best friends. She could always make me feel better no matter how down and out I was. Dana was such a special person and I know she is in a better place. I loved her like a sister and will never forget all the memories we shared. I will never understand why God took her that night. If you ever need to talk I am here for you.

Joanne, My heart breaks into for your loss. The pain we feel when we lose a loved one is soooo hard. Hold to the wonderful, all powerful hand of Jesus to help you through. I think of you often and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Joan Carter

My heart is sick. I can hardly come to work each and every day without you being here. I can to work here in Helena from a very tensus situation, you and our office gave me back my sanity. You and your mother gave me back my faith in humanity and human kindness. I guess the middle georgia way of life. You were the , quite, bright, flower beside the back door. I would love to take you in my arms today. Dana, I loved you like my own. The most comfort to me is knowing you are with my sister and dad. I know you and Joan are having a great time in heaven. Signing out until I join you in Heaven....

Joanne,

Dana was such a wonderful person and joy to work with. She will forever be missed by all of us. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Joanne,

I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking about you and I miss Dana everyday. I pray every night that God will send his angels to comfort you. Always in my Prayers, NancyAnne CSC 22 Waycross

I am so sorry for your loss. She will be greatly missed.

To the family and friends of Dana,

I met Dana on a cruise in August 2005. We had kept in touch and talked and emailed each other periodically. Anyway, I had tried to call her and email her the last couple of weeks, and noticed her phone had been disconnected. Something told me to do an internet search and I saw the terrible news, my heart stopped and I burst into tears. I remember her cute Georgia accent, her smile, and how great a person she was, and knew she was in nursing school. I know she is in God's hands now, and is living peacefully. May God bless your family.

Ms. Joanne,

I was so sorry to hear about Dana. She was always so sweet and nice and never wanted to make anyone upset. I can't say that I know how you feel, but I do have 2 girls and the bond between a mother and daughter is like none else. Please lean on God to take you through this time of sorrow. Know that he has a plan for each and every one of us, we may not always understand it or like it but it is his will. Remember that you have so many friends and family that you can depend on. I love you!

Joanne, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathy for your loss.

Ms. Smith, I am sorry for your loss. I do not know you or your daughter but I spoke to you on the phone following Dana's death. I work for a customer service center. I was saddened by your call and truly feel for you and your family. Best wishes.

Dana was not only a co-worker of mine, she was a true friend. Her smile could light up a room! She was always going beyond what was necessary to help someone. She was truly kind, respectful, and a real gem of a person! She loved to laugh and loved to make you laugh! Her presence at work and in my life will be sorely missed. There will always be something missing in all of our lives that knew Dana. I feel so blessed for having the opportunity to have known her. Her kindness will forever influence me and those who knew her. Joanne, Danny & Jodi, I love you all and am praying for you daily. If there is anything I can do for you, all you need to do is ask.

Dana is now in Heaven. Take comfort in that fact. We will see her again one day...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

May the love of friends & family carry you through your grief. Dana was a very nice & friendly girl. She will be missed by many. My thoughts are with you all.

Randall & Susan Graham & family

I am so glad to have had the opportunity to know Dana from when we were kids at Dodge Elementary and also another chance to teach her in McRae. She is truly one of the most positive, sweetest people you will ever know. She was so easy to talk to and had a gift of helping anyone work out any problem they may have. I would stay after class to give her advice about nursing, and she would always end up giving me some of the most valuable advice I ever recieved. She was my student and teacher all at the same time. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. Let this thought comfort you, as it did me when Dana quoted it, "Don't live life with a catchers mitt on both hands. Some things you need to throw back." God Bless and Keep You.

We are so sorry for your loss. Your family will be in our prayers as you go through this time of sorrow. We have known Dana and the Yancey family for a very long time.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help at this time.

May God God be with you during this sorrowful time.

Joann,I am very sorry.My thoughts are with you.Dana was a very wonderful and loving girl,she will be in my thoughts.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all in this difficult time.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

We will never understand why God calls our loved ones home early and unexpectedly. We just can't make sense of it, no matter how hard we try. We must remember that everything God does serves some purpose. Perhaps some souls are so precious that they're needed in heaven to serve God or to comfort others; for, surely, the young whom God calls home are the purest of all souls. Have faith in God during this time of grief. Lay your sorrows upon His strong shoulders and remember that your separation is only temporary. The time we spend on earth is so short in comparison to the time we'll spend in the kingdom of heaven with our loved ones. You are in my prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

To my former co-workers: Ofc Danny Yancey, Lt. Jody Yancey and all the Yancey Family.



My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time as your mourn the loss of Dana. May our God grant you the strength to carry on during this difficult time in your life. In his Love,
