A life well lived! Mrs. Gudelis was a kind, giving and resourceful woman. Dana and RJ were the beneficiaries of her many years of support and mentorship. Although a sad time for her family, they will always treasure the time spent.

I extend my condolences to you and your family over the passing of your mom. I'm sure she had a very rich life with a loving family around her.

Dearest Dana (family/friends),
Jenn informed me of your mother's passing. Please accept my sincere condolences. Although I have not had the pleasure of meeting your Mom, through you I am certain I have seen her strength, determination and resilience through all of life's ups and downs. At age 107 she has seen it all I imagine. Add to that your creativity and joy that I have experienced in you, if you got even a smidge of that from your mother then she was a very great lady indeed. Laughter is the medicine that gets us through, while hope helps to sustain us when life throws us curve balls. God bless her soul and surround you and your loved ones with light and love to comfort you. My love & hugs, Judy
