Dana was a sweet person as a youngster and young adult. She always had a wonderful smile, a pleasant personality and a great appetite that I'll never forget. 🙂 She and my daughter were besties and shared a love of dance. Her talent was remarkable. I came to know her well as I managed their rehearsals and traveled with them for performances. The best of times. I'll remember her as I last saw her...happy and well. R.I.P. Dana but I know you're dancing in heaven.
