Sweet memories of great times with the Walsh family. Jim and Dana were wonderful examples of loving Christian parents from whom my wife and I learned many life lessons. Always with a ready laugh and an encouraging word, Dana was a special person and a loving friend. She is remembered, with much love.

Dear Walsh family,
Words cannot express what I feel in my heart for Dana. She touched my heart and soul. I knew her for only a short time but it felt like we'd knew each other for years. Some people you just have a connection with like that. I feel blessed to have spent the time we did together. Even when sick she made everyone laugh. She was more to me than a patient, she was my friend. It was my honor to be her nurse and I truly believe she is in a better place now without suffering. She lives in our hearts, thoughts, and memories now. She's dancing with the Angels. May God bless you all and keep you close to his eternal love. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

We will always cherish the memories we shared and send our heartfelt condolences to the entire family. RIP Godmama

Dear Walsh Family,
We are so sorry to say goodbye to Dana. So glad to have had her in my life as a coworker at CAFC. We loved to share the doo wop music and would get a song in our heads to get us through the work day! Such a real genuine gal. She always had a fun story, recipe, tips and jokes to share. Always offering to share her lunch and her Farmers Market pick of the week. I think she introduced me to blue,watermelon. Dana, you will always be remembered in a great way with simplistic ideas. You should have had your own Dear Abbey column! Our heartfelt condolences to your entire family during this very difficult time in life.
Sadly missed,
Jeryl and Russ Sisco

My deepest condolences to the entire Dana's Family. I was fortunate enough to work with Dana at CAFC. Dana impacted my life in many GREAT ways. She was very good listener and honest friend. I will always remember her as peacemaker, great sense of humor, knowledgeable cook, lovely woman with caring and loving heart. Dana was full of wisdom and had simple common sense solutions. I will miss her and await the time when God wants us to meet again. May her soul rest in peace. Your Family and her are in my prayers.
