A SUPER LADY We’ve lost a lovely, special Lady Who’ll leave her mark in history She made this World a better place Changing a lot of things we just don’t see. She was a model Wife and Mother The kind we could sure use more of Who had Her share of tragedy Faced it with great strength and love. She had a courage and commitment That so few people have today When the “Rocky road”, seemed impassable It seems She always found Her way. It’s only been a few, short months Since we found out She was sick A non-smoker with lung cancer? It took Her life away so quick. And the worst part of it all Is the loss to Will, Her Son Who has a lifetime of sadness In His life, that’s just begun. “Only the good die young!” Is what some people say And it really seems to fit On this very sad day. But surely, Dana and Chris Are joined together once more For, they are two special people Who surely passed through Heaven’s door. March 7, 2006 “SUPERMAN” Though a character of fiction Who could see through walls and fly The actor who portrayed him Has made the whole world cry. Although he couldn’t move himself He has changed this Earth around Giving hope and keeping his Thatsome cures could be found. He couldn’t hurdle over buildings But could roll into your heart And he knew that helping others Was the best place to start. He built a strong Foundation Using the power of his name Fighting for stem cell research That “some people” think a “game”. But, maybe some day very soon His dreams and wishes will come true And then we’ll see and believe What one “Superman” can do. 10-11-2004 Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity. |

I admired both Dana and Chris beyond words. To learn of her passing, is indeed, very sad news. Another star has left this Earth and returned to heaven. Your entire post is exceptionally moving and beautifully written. Love & Light, EA |

OMG, this has brought tears to my eyes, to learn of Dana's sudden death. We all thought she would beat this one. Ever since reading Christopher's book "Still Me" and watcing Dana's constant goodness displayed, I've been convinces these two were icons of strength and love that should be remembered forever. This is such sad news. RIP, Dana, you were one of my heros. |

Good of you to remember these two wonderful people in this way.. I kind of think Dana died of a broken heart, rather than lung cancer...She and Christopher seemed so very much in-love and inseperable...I do feel badly for their young son, having lost both parents at such a young age..  hugs, g "Home..is for free expression, not for good impression..." |

I, like the previous poet, feel much the same. Dana and Chris were very much the epitome of soulmates; and I hope that their son will not be discouraged by their passing, although the grieving will be heavy for some time, but will know, in his own time, the legacy that these two wonderful people left for him. Abe, thank you for this beautiful tribute. I hope that it attains a number of responses, and that when you feel the time is proper, and full, you will send it to the family. Because I feel that is what you do... |
