The family was quiet on Facebook about what was happening to Dana in the first few days of her #neardeathexperience. We at first did not fathom the scope of her illness, the pneumonia, the fact that she was taking her last breaths on July 17.
By July 19 the situation was becoming clearer and friends and family were being informed that Dana was in the ICU department and might not make it.
Her brother Jeff posted his first reference to the situation on Facebook on July 19. He wrote: 5 years ago we were having a blast on the Lake. Today she is fighting for her life. Please keep Dana in your thoughts and prayers!
He shared a five-year-old Facebook post with a photo taken while they were fishing on Androscoggin Lake. His caption: Me and my awesome sister on Androscoggin Lake! Photo taken July 19, 2013 in Wayne, Maine.
