Dana was a woven tapestry of ribbons, glitter, and glimmers, gidgets, and gadgets, inside jokes, randomness from the word go and music. She was such a unique soul that glittered. She was fierce in everything she did. She loved her kids and grandkids more than air. She loved all the kids that came through her door over the years like they were hers. She had such a wonderful talent for putting random items together and making the most wonderful quirky things. She will be greatly missed!
