Courage, strength, compassion, selflessness.  I knew Jason and Dana Saracino since the late 1970s.  After leaving high school, I moved around a bit, and lost touch with so many.  A few years ago, thanks to Kinsa and Jesse, I reconnected with Dana and her Husband.   I am still amazed by her story, her strength.   Even as kids; she was always friendly, radiant, kind, and bright.  None of that changed, and it was like no time passed in that evening.  Without question, we are all better people for knowing Dana, past and present, and I am so grateful for it.

I was so sorry to hear of Dana’s passing.  
We meet in the 3rd grade.   Were inseparable from 7-9 grade til I moved away.   I will always cherish those precious times.  
My thoughts are with Cory and the kids.. and the rest of her family. 

Dana you will be greatly missed by many!!

Dana was one of the most loving, caring souls.  She fought her battle hard and with such strength.  Her smile, her kindness her beautiful self will be missed.  Her spirit and love will always surround those she loved.

She was always in a great mood no matter what Cory did.  A sweet soul, beautiful person that left us to soon. She will be missed by all. 🌹

I went to High School with Dana.  She was a sweet, kind, smart and talented friend.  I can’t recall ever seeing her mad or angry at anything or anyone.  She had the brightest smile that instantly connected with every person she met.  I am very sorry for your loss.
