Sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Dana. Jeff has relayed to me about the wonderful stories of his Aunt Dana and family. I wish I could have met her. Your family will be in our prayers.

Just read about the passing of Dana. My parents are at Terrace Estates also, and I visit them quite frequently. I will miss seeing Dana and her wonderful smile...while she would sit by the table and do her puzzles. (I usually come in that back door/which is near her room). We would always do a "high-five" and exchange a few words. Her hair always looked so nice and I loved her pretty blue eyes! Sometimes she'd be sitting outside by the door, having her cigarette...with her "babushka" on. :o) It seems I know her from someplace, from years ago; but I could never put my finger on it, from where. The last week or so, I noticed she was sitting in her room instead of being out in the big room. I said to myself, I need to stop and talk to her. I wish I had stopped on that day. Unfortunately, now it's too late. She will be missed by me and I'm sure, everyone at TE. A very sweet lady/rest in peace, Dana.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Dana will be greatly missed. She was a great lady and I will miss playing cards with her. She was very caring and protective of others, especially Ruthie. I am very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family at this time. Karen (Terrace Estates)

From the first day I met Dana she held a special place in my heart. I enjoyed her spunk and outgoing behavior. I will miss closing her drapes every afternoon and being treated by her to a piece of chocolate. Watching her work on word search puzzles
