Dear Uncle Nicky, Averi, Brent and grandchildren (Caleb and AJ come to mind but I know there are more of you),
My heart breaks for you all and I hold you in my mind and heart today and in the days ahead. Aunt Dana (I feel truly honored to have known her as Aunt) was the most beautiful person I have ever met. I cannot think of her without realising and feeling her kindness and seeing her smile. I have so many happy memories of times spent in her company and I am grateful to have those memories. But it hurts that my trip back home was cancelled last summer and I won’t get one more memory this coming summer either. She truly was an angel on Earth.
I send lots of love to you all and keep you in my prayers. I know she’ll be hugging Aunt Mil and Honey and looking down on you all.
Love, Amanda
My heart is broken. Dana was a beautiful loving person. God Bless her. Our deepest sympathy to Nicky and her children. Love you Danababe, until we meet again.
I just personally want to send my love and condolences to Nick, Averi, Brent and Family. Hearing of Dana passing was a sorrowful day for myself. Dana was a loving, caring, and Precious person that would help everyone and loved her Family. Dana will be missed. God Bless you all at this difficult time. My thoughts and Prayers are with you all. Love Pat Braughton

We will always remember you, and we will always remember the love we have for you. But that can’t compare to how much Nick, Avery, Brent, and her beloved grandchildren must miss her. Dana was such a special person.

And your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake. With which I’ll never part. God has you in his keeping. I have you in my heart. I miss you so much. I love you mommy dearest.
