Our family is heartbroken by the sudden passing of our beloved Dana Cook.

To the world, she was a daughter, wife, mother, aunt, teacher, and dear friend but to us, she was first and always a mom. Dana loved with her whole heart. She showed up without hesitation, gave without keeping score, and created a home and family where everyone felt safe, supported, and deeply loved. She was our constant, our comfort, and our glue.

Her loss has left an unimaginable void in all of our lives, especially for her devoted husband, Michael, and her children, Dylan, Emily, and Hailey. As they navigate this profound grief, Michael is also facing the immediate responsibility of final arrangements and the many unexpected expenses that follow such a sudden loss. As a family, we want to surround him with the same care and steadiness that Dana gave so naturally to all of us.

We are raising funds to help cover memorial arrangements, end-of-life expenses, and to ease some of the financial burden during this incredibly difficult transition. Any support, whether through a donation or simply sharing this page, means more than we can express.

Dana was the heart of our family, the one who held us together, lifted us up, and loved us through everything. Thank you for helping us honor her life and care for the person she loved most.

With love and gratitude,

The Cook Family
