“Dearest Aunt Laura Jean, Carol, and all family members, My heart aches for all of you and even me for the loss of Dana. I can't imagine the grief you are enduring but we believe he is in Heaven now and out of pain. So although we are all sad, it is a blessing in a way. Dana is now with all his loved ones who have gone before him and he is with our Lord and Savior. He was such a GREAT man. He ALWAYS continued to make me laugh and I miss him a lot and LOVED him with my heart. Debbie Silvas”
