hi there
Hey this is really sad. Dana was my hero. I liked it when she was naked
she was just getting started in her career she will be missed
Very tragic sad life story. This is an example of why a person can not let what others say define who you are…
R.I.P Dana, you will be sorely missed.
Dana, I know what it is to be disappointed to wake up every morning and find yourself alive.
I know what it is like living after your anti-depressant has worn off to soon.
You were mistunderstood–I know, because every morning I see you in my mirror.
I am so sorry for you.
This is beyond sad to me. To think that people were so cruel to her the day earlier. I hope Stern rethinks some of the horrible stuff he does. People are exploited endlessly by sum like him. Also all the name callers, I know, the wrath will come for every time you judge and point a thumb, you will pay for it three fold. You no doubt know that now!!
Life is a fragile thing… A Flower thats gone leaves a memory of summer.
You’ll be missed.
I’m so sorry we couldn’t have done more, Dear Dana. From your friends at A Minor Consideration.
Ela era como uma bonequinha de porcelana
Foi tão fragil até o fim d sua vida
Tanto na mente como no corpo
Sorry for your loss
diffrent strokes is my favorite show of all time
Sorry I did’t get to know you. You are truly missed.
I watched most of the tribute video and had to stop, because it was far to sad. It is nice too know that you took part in a memory that we all can look back on and Always will remember you and your talent.
ITS SAD THAT YA DIED SO YOUNG I HOPE YOU ARE AT PEACE NOW, GOD BLESS YOU XX
I remember laughing yesterday…now the laughter seems so far away
I grew up with this young lady, so beautiful. It saddens me that she never got to live her life. RIP
