Aunt Wanda, Theresa, and Dawn:I'm sorry to hear of Dana's passing. I am happy that the suffering has ended for him and that he was peaceful in the end. Uncle Dana was tough and kind. Although it sounds like an oxymoron, it is,in fact, true. He was quick to let you know when he thought you were wrong, as he argued his position on more than one occasion, but also, eager to generously lend a hand when he thought you needed it. I will always have fond memories of staying with Uncle Dana and Aunt Wanda when I was preparing for the RN boards, and again when waiting to catch a cruise for my honeymoon. Decades later, looking back on those momentous moments, I am happy to have shared them with him; I can still remember how proud he was of those avocados! The legacy that follows Uncle Dana is one of many good times, and no doubt some bad, as it is with us all. My arms wrap around my extended family, offering big hugs and encouragement, as you move forward. He would have wanted that; I am sure...Love to you all..Angela##imported-begin##Angela Ritten##imported-end##
