I was shocked to hear Dana had passed, but have not seen him since we were in our teenage years. He took me to my 8th grade prom where we had a great time. My condolences go out to the family for him and his mom Della (sorry to have missed her passing). Time flies by so fast. Prayers for them both and the family -RIP Dana and Della -you will be missed.
