Thinking of you Dustin, and praying that God's comforting arms are holding you tightly. Though I only met Dana a few times, she seemed so happy, with such a warm, welcoming smile. I talked with you many times about her, and your love for her shined through every time you even mentioned her name. I pray for your strengh as you continue to guide David, and I have no doubt that your faith will carry you through.

What a sweet lovely woman of God. The bible calls women to be the heart of the home and that she was. Never judged anyone. Dana you hug Jesus for me and finally feel his perfect love. No more weeping, pain or worry now holds you. God bless you. You will be missed.

I can honestly say that the entire ACHS class of 1993 is feeling this loss. Her strength and courage will carry on with all of us. She was a beautiful person inside and out. Hugs to her husband, son, and family - you all were her world and I know her love for y'all was incredible! Dana will always be remembered! And you will remain in my prayers.

Dana is a remarkable woman who became part of my life while watching our boys practice football in middle school. We had many conversations on many of life's stories. I will miss Dana deeply! I know she is with God and is watching over her family and friends. Thank you Dustin and David for sharing this wonderful woman with us here in Colorado!

So sad to see this. I went to high school with Dana. She was always so sweet and kind and it didn't surprise me to see how courageous she was through this whole thing. What a beautiful angel she is now.

I knew Dana since high school. She had been my rock for the past year always giving me encouraging words as I sat with my dad thru his cancer battle. She was always full of God loving words and happy. I will not forget the impact she made on the many lives that she touched. Nor will I forget the love that she spread upon each and every one of us. She was a true genuine friend full of Gods grace and beauty.
