Oh Dana - Mike and Franny are so upset to read you are no longer with us. We had so many wonderful memories with you. You never forgot one Christmas remembering our children with handmade decorated cookies, cakes and delicious homemade spirits for all the adults in our home visiting. Your stories of hunting at your camp were always so entertaining. My dear friend we loved you and above all - will miss you terribly. Someday we will meet again.
