Dana, a name I loved and a person I admired for all she was and all she stood for.
Dana was a joy!
I met Dana at a very crucial time in my life. She was a great role model and I have always been so thankful that fate set our paths to cross at that time. I have only the fondest memories of Dana – she was a wonderful person.
Dana and Lesley came into my daughter Tera and
Leslie,
Please accept our most sincere sympathy and know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Hey Dana –
I just wanted to talk to you and dont really know how anymore. I miss you so much, and cant help but be selfish and still want you here. I think about you all of the time. I dont think that the hurt will ever go away. I just wish so much that I could have talked to you one more time. Life is so hard and complicated and now it just seems so much harder and more complicated without you here. I just dont understand why you had to leave, I know that you dont hurt anymore, but I just need you here. I really try to be strong, but I just get so tired sometimes. I know that you are watching over me, and that you hear me talking to you, but it is just not the same. You were so young and beautiful, why did you have to leave? I cry so much for you, we all miss you so much. This is so hard. There is so much I need to ask you, and so much advice I need from you. Please show me the way somehow. Please help me to do the right thing. I love you Dana B.
My Dear Friend Dana,
How do I begin to say how much you have always meant to me. We’ve known each other since 1968 & I feel we have grown up together sharing tears, laughter and love. I knew the first day I met you that we would always have a very special friendship that would last a lifetime. We shared so much together…college, Lake Bryn Mawr Camp, skiing (water & snow), fishing, but most importantly, we shared our lives and hearts. We may not have seen each other as much as we wanted, but I have always felt the love that radiates from you in my heart. Your love and friendship has always been unconditional to everyone and every creature. Your warm smile and loving hugs have always made me wish for more time together. You have always had a heart of gold and have so generously shared your love with all that you touch. It hurts me so much not to be there now, but I know you feel the love I send to your free spirit. “We Wubby” has always had such a special meaning between our hearts and I now say “We Wubby” for an eternity because I know we will meet again in Heaven.
She provided my dog Duke for me when I had MS and then she took care of Duke when I could no longer manage him.
Dana, Wow! I really don’t believe that there is any way to tell anybody how much of an impact she made on my life. Some of the most treasured times of my life were spent with this wonderful woman. They are times that I will never forget. Times like waking up in Colorado to the smell of coffee and then stepping out side and having a cup with Dana, talking for hours. Every time I would see her she would hug me for so long and say “Oh, I’m so glad to see you” and that would just be the first of several that day. She was always so loving and caring. I could make this go on and on and on. She is by far one of the best people I have ever known. I thank God for allowing her to be a part of my life. I will never forget the lessons she taught me and how proud she was of me. I love you with all my heart Dana!
There is a song by Alabama called Angels Among Us. I shared with Dana sometime back that everytime I heard that song it made me feel that it was written about her.
I miss you so much, I dont know where to even start. I love you so much, and I couldnt imagine not growing up with you as my Aunt. I learned so much from you, and shared so many important times of my life with you. You watched me grow up, and because of you, I am the person I am today. I only hope I can have the generous and loving heart that you have.
