Dana had a way of telling you
Dana had a way of telling you exactly what she thought and passed along her warm smile with her loving heart. We too will miss Dana and her laughter. We are thinking of all of and keeping everyone in our prayers. Angie, Jim, Emily & Abbey Stinner
Thinking of You
During this past year I was able to see firsthand how much love Dana had for her Grandmother Helen and her Aunt Denise. Aunt Denise had a special bond with Dana that was evident. The few times that I spent with Dana were filled with laughter because of her wonderful honesty and definite opinions, especially when it came to having to deal with three little white dogs - not just Moe and Curly, but Max as well! It was my pleasure to know her.
Prayers to you and your Family!
John & Family,
