This is so sad. I haven’t seen Dana since I graduated in 1977. We use to hang out as kids and sunbath together. She would cover herself in butter and suntan all day long. She always had a great tan. We rode bikes and played outside all of the time. She was also a great athlete in school and we loved to play basketball. She was a good friend and I have many many memories of her and the good old days in Alex.
Always a smile on your face when we saw each other and a true friend I had. Dane and I will miss you but forever in our hearts you will be.
So sorry for your loss, may you find comfort in knowing one day death will be no more and those lost in death will be resurrected.
