I met Dana on fb of all places. We talked everyday and sometimes many times during a day. I immediately felt very close to Dana and could feel that she needed a friend who would listen to her and share our lives with each other..In just a short time, I knew her well. I knew she was very depressed and never felt well. We still found a lot to talk about. I encouraged her to get back to her way of living. She did go to their favorite restaurant and enjoyed going and getting out. Both of our mother's had alzheimers, so I shared everything I learned from a class I attended. I feel like it helped her, but maybe not. I miss her dearly. I know Bob does. She thought so highly and respected everything Bob said. I'm shocked that she's gone. I felt like I should have reached out more to her. I invited her to San Antonio many times for the holidays. My daughter lives there and Jessica is a precious, sweet and extremely funny person. She and Bob both would have fit right in, because there was always something she had going. We played more Christmas games that were hysterical and had everyone laughing the whole night. We also sang Christmas songs and putting 10 together to sing was a lot of fun and a big laugh.. Dana, you are now with the lord and happy as a Lark. No more sadness or hurting just visiting with all the people you already knew. We are the sad ones left behind. You were loved by so many and inspired by people you didn't know. Will see you again! Bob, my heart is broken for you. I knew the love you had for Dana. You will wear a crown in heaven for all you've done on earth. You took care of the family. This is what God wants us to do. Live the remainder of you life, knowing you gave a loo% to help Dana and the rest of her family. You are a good man. God Bless you. I will always think of you and how well you took care of Dana. God Bless you! Pat Hegdal
