Dana was a sweet loving girl, woman, wife and mother. She was pure of heart and possessed an innocence of spirit. Barbara and I have known her since grade school and both of us remember Dana as a loving soul.
I was best friends with Ed in grade, middle and high school and know that he was crazy in love with Dana from first sight.
Although her departure is way too soon, I am certain she is somewhere in heaven, in the arms and by the side of the man she loved with all her heart.
Rest In Peace Dana.

I met Dana at Antioch Jr.High as we went through Jr. High and High School together. She was always fun to be around. I was so happy to have caught up with her and Ed again via Facebook and share our lives together as grand parents. She will be missed by many and loved forever. Heavenly angel…rest in paradise. Until we meet again……Condolences to Dana’s entire family.
