So sorry for your loss!
My deepest sympathy to all of Dana’s family. Dana and I grew up a few blocks away from each other. I remember spending time together as kids. I remember Dana playing music at her house. We loved Michael Jackson and Marvin Gay music! Dana was a great gal and we always had fun together. Enjoyed seeing her out places as adults. Saying prayers for comfort and peace for the family.
i’ve known Dana for a long time through my ex husband Larry Zimmerman but then got reacquainted working at the school bus barn. my husband and I have a special place in our hearts for her and her family. prayers to all.
Dana was a wonderful person and a loyal friend. She was always willing to help others. Her work with alternative students and their families made a positive difference in many young lives. I remember many fun times with Dana as she supported her children in Blue Devil sports! May that cow bell ring for ever in our minds and hearts as we celebrate Dana and the special life she lived! Miss you my friend
Jon and family. I’m so so sorry to hear of your loss. The little time that I was around her, she was always so nice to me. My love to you and your kiddos.
My friendship with Dana goes back many years. Grade school days at St. Peter’s and high school at Quincy Notre Dame. As adults we were always happy to occasionally run into one another. Forever Friends.
One of my best childhood memories was going to girl weekend bunking parties at her Grandma Hoener’s house. She always included everyone and we had so much fun.
Her love towards people and her joy of life continued in her adult years.
God Bless you, Dana.
My sincere sympathy to all her family.
