Dawana was loved by our family! Always greeted us and made sure we were taken care of, even in the busiest of times. She had our order almost ready once we entered the Waffle House doors - especially 4 of our grandsons and Son. She didn't miss a beat and we've missed her during these past days. She was a delight and joy and now in the arms of our Almighty God still serving and smiling with the angels. God bless her family and hold them close during these difficult days.
