The presence of Dana will truly be missed by all that knew her and were touched by her. That smile of hers always lit up a room – she was so sweet!!!

Not having known Dana well, I could feel her presence thru her warm and loving family. I remember Dana at the many Brennan celebrations, weddings, graduations, birthdays……Always a great time, Dana so personable and fun to be around.May you find comfort in the many memories you share during this most difficult loss.With Sympathy,Kathy and Chuck Maguire
I already posted about Dana a few days ago, but after attending the memorial service yesterday, I wanted to add something. That was the most beautiful, touching, heartfelt tribute I've ever witnessed. I was thinking about Dana all night. I worked with Dana at Gartner. Since we sat in the back, we were the first one's to greet the family as we exited the church. I've had issues with the fluorescent lights in the office; always gave me headaches. Dana would walk me through the building to try and find the best location for me to sit. I remember asking her about her limp … saying I would walk myself, just tell me the location, but of course, in true Dana form, she told me she was fine. I heard about the cancer. I asked her a few times about it, but each time, Dana said she was doing great, so I assumed she was in remission. But I told her I would keep her in my prayers. I was so shocked to hear of Dana's passing. I wish I had known, I would have come to visit her and would have gotten a large card together and had everyone in the office sign it. It made me remember the last time I saw Dana. She came up to my desk, with a huge smile, as always, asking how I was doing, concerned about my issues with the lights. Dana, of course, picked out the perfect location, and the lights rarely bother me now. Thinking back, here I am complaining about headaches, when she was going through so much. It really makes me think. I'm so so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and close friends. Clearly Dana had the most amazing family.
My deepest sympathies to the Parker & Brennan families, I'm heartbroken to learn of Dana's passing. There is no doubt in my mind who owns the biggest and brightest smile in heaven now, rest in peace my friend….Mike Haggerty, Syracuse, NY
I can still see Dana walking down the aisle at my wedding with her sister Michelle. Even at 5 years old she had a quiet dignity and beautiful spirit. I am keeping all of the Brennans, Parkers and Capuanos close in my thoughts. May the Lord lift you up as you travel this long road of healing. God bless you allMarsha Garrett
Dana was such a wonderful person and a great member of the Gartner family. As good as she was to us, I can only imagine how good she was to her real family. I'm sorry for your loss, we will all miss her. Nate and Michelle Swan
Dana was such a wonderfully sweet person. We worked on many small projects together at Scientific Atlanta and she was always supportive, resourceful, pleasant and willing to do whatever it took to make the project successful. I valued her opinion. I am sorry for everyone's loss.
Dana was always so loving,caring and thoughtful and one of the sweetest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Although she is gone too soon, I pray you find comfort in knowing that she is whole again in the Kingdom of God.Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.Rest in peace Dana.Dave & Leslie Putnam
I will always remember Dana's helpful spirit! She was such an encourager as well….Paul tells us that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord….While we are grieved over the loss of our dear friend, we rejoice in knowing that Jesus has welcomed her home….our prayers and sympathy to the family and to all those who were blessed enough to call her friend….Go rest high, Dana; we'll see you again someday!!
I can see the wonderful resemblance to her sister, Megan. I did not know Dana but I can feel her warmth and happiness through her beautiful smile. I My thoughts are with both families today, the Brennans and the Parkers. Jean D,
