To Dana Jackson's Family,
I want you to know she was the most amazing case manager in the whole world. She was caring, loving, understanding as well as smart. She supported our family and daughter through the good times and bad.
She gave us 100%. She will forever be missed.
Kaylee, named after her sister and Mom, was so wonderful during all our meetings. She was truly the light of Dana's eyes. As Kaylee gets big, she will be surrounded by a wonderful family. And please tell her, for us, her Mom was a fabulous, beautiful, amazing lady. - Forever to be missed.
All our love, The Berenato Family

Dear Kaylee, Eileen David and Laura,
Dana was my daughter's support coordinator since 2019 at SPWA and more than that she became a friend and great support to me. We were shocked to hear of her passing. We will miss her, her smile and positivity and seeing Kaylee during visits. We will continue to pray for your family and especially Kaylee. Dana loved her so much and my daughter enjoyed talking with her on Zoom meetings and visits. They were both always full of joy and acceptance. We will not forget.
With sympathy, Renee and Sophia Davis
I am so sorry. I will miss seeing Miss Dana and Kaylee. - Sophia

Words cannot express what a tragic loss this is. I miss my friend so much. I never had a chance to her how much I love her and how great of a mother and person she is. I always thought I had more time, but sadly I didn't. It eats me up inside that I didn't take the time to be around like I used to and how I was suppose to. Life takes you in a whirlwind at times and you forget about the people in your life that mean the most. Dana J was such a beautiful person inside and out. Always helping others and always making sure her clients are well taken care of. My heart cries for Kaylee because her Mom was taken way too soon and no one will ever be able to replace the Love that she and Dana had.
I walk through the grocery store and I see a Mom and daughter having fun and just being happy. I immediately think of Kaylee and Dana and it broke my heart.
I just miss you so much Dana. I will cry a thousand tears until we meet again.
You will always be my friend forever. This was unexpected and it hurts so much knowing how many lives you touch and we will no longer get to hug you laugh with you and just be in your presence. You always knew how to make me feel better when I was going through alot. You were an amazing friend to me and never judged me once.
I will be looking for signs from the other realm. Until we meet again my friend.. I love you so much Dana and will be missing each day until I see u again. ❤️ I will carry all of our great memories close to my heart. Always and Forever ❤️ so many tears right now. Smh still in denial. Miss u Dana J! ( Go DJ that's my DJ) ❤️
Love Rease

Dana. Your incandescent smile transcends both worlds. But we miss you in real life. Seeing Kaylee today at your memorial brought joy into my heart and then the tears started flowing. My first vivid memories of you are from when you were Kaylees age about three when I was 10, this angelic little child, fearless, smiling, endless energy, exactly what a 10 year old needs. My brothers and I used to take you out to the town dock on Squam Lake, and dare you to climb the 8 foot tower and jump to us eagerly awaiting you as we tread water below. You were wearing a big red floaty and your blonde hair and your giggly smile as you took that joyous leap into the air. You’re the reason I wanted kids. Not because I was supposed to, not because my mom or dad said women need to have kids, it was because I had the cutest two girl cousins in the world, Laura and Dana and I just wanted one of each of you. and luckily. that’s what I got. my amahlia and louisa. They were blessed to meet you, Dana just once. On our way north you popped by and you told us the good news that you were pregnant.
What a special day! News of a 2nd cousin for my babies, lazy catch up family time by the pool, swimming, dogs, cicadas humming, and aunt and uncle time. I just want my girls to know your Kaylee and our Laura and Dan and the wonderful Hatton family who so many of you welcomed me so kindly today, into the fold like it hadn’t been 20 + years since aunt Eileen and Dave got married, that was a Special day, I got to be a flower girl. what a wonderful family you were raised in and I’m so so blessed to be welcomed and part of it. A part which will keep Dana alive in my heart forever.

To the entire Jackson family, Lauren and her husband, I am truly sorry to hear about this, it breaks my heart. Let god help us lead the way for everyone to especially Kaylee. Dana was so kind, grateful, admired and loved, she was an excellent mother and loved Kaylee more than life, she has came to our house a few times and everyone played with her. She will be deeply miss, her smile and her laugh. She was a gift to everyone. I won’t ever forget. RIP Dana xoxo.

Sending my deepest sympathies to Dana's daughter, parents and sibling. I knew Dana from working with her. Dana set a high bar, always dedicated to her friends with disabilities she got the job done thoroughly on her first go around. She shared videos of her and the baby while we worked over zoom during the pandemic. She was such a natural mother. Warmest memories, Donna Dzinski

We are so shocked and saddened to hear of Dana's death. She was a truly beautiful person in all senses and the world is poorer without her.
As children we spent time together each year as family. She was a character, full of energy and nothing could stop her! She was probably only 5 or 6 when she jumped from the high dive in Squam Lake when I was unwilling.
It doesn't surprise me that she went on to excell in sport and later dedicate herself to supporting those less fortunate than herself.
I am sad that I never got to see her as a Mom, but I am pleased that my son, Milo, got to meet her.
Our thoughts, our love and grief goes out to Uncle Dave, Aunt Eileen, Laura, Dan and Kaylee.
Morgan, Becky, Milo and Franklin

“Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.”
Sincerest condolences to Dana's family and friends. She was a warm, kind, and genuine person with whom I had the privilege to know and work with. Dana was such a wonderful spirit. Her dedication to individuals with developmental disabilities touched so many lives, not only with those she worked with but especially the individuals and families she served. Dana had an indelible impact on so many and will sorely be missed.

Dana, was one of three of our first employees! Thank you for blessing us with your trust, compassion, and patients and allowing us to watch you flourish as an exceptional person and mother. It always bought a smile to my face to watch you with Kaylee. Your presence will be missed but never forgotten.

I am sending my dearest sympathies to Dana’s family. I worked with her for several years at SPWA. Dana was so dedicated to helping others. She was a strong advocate who worked very hard, but was always quick to smile or laugh. I will remember her patience and kindness, both personally and professionally. She was a loving mother to Kaylee, who always put a smile on her face. I will keep Kalyee in my thoughts & prayers that she will know how much joy she brought into her mother’s life.

I want to express my deepest sympathy and sincerest condolences to the Jackson family. I met Dana working for Advoserv/Bellwether and right away I could tell that she was a very kind natured and genuine person. Her compassion and patience made her an asset to our job and a pleasure to work with. Dana always went above and beyond in any endeavor she pursued. It was not long before she went from my co-worker to one of my dearest friends and she will be missed greatly by anyone who's life she touched. I am keeping your family in my prayers.

My deepest condolences to the Jackson family on the loss of your wonderful Dana. It was my absolute pleasure to work with her for several years at SPWA. It was such a joy to see the relationship between her and Kaylee from the beginning. I'll always remember both of their beautiful smiles.
