Obituary of Dana Berryman

Dana M. Berryman (Gilbertson) Age 28. Saturday, January 23, 2010 at Loyola University Medical Center as the result of multi organ system failure. Dana has been called to heaven to be one of God's angels. We all were very blessed to know her and be given the gifts of her warmth and strength. She was as graceful as a ballerina and as strong as a rock. Never an ill word spoken and a smile that could fill your heart with joy from across the room. Her gift to us was to teach us the value of life. Being a devoted loving mother that has given faith, kindness, patience and unconditional love to her children to hold with them forever. She has given of herself to all that had come to know her. Never to be forgotten and forever missed. Survived by two beautiful daughters, Alyssa and Ella Gilbertson; her mother, Holly (Mark) Hanson of Channahon, and her father, Mark (Karen Threewitt) Berryman of Morris; one brother, Shawn (Linda Harkey) Berryman of Morris; one sister, Jaden Hanson of Channahon; maternal grandfather, Harold (Sharon) Todner, and maternal grandmother the late Mary Ann Todner, paternal grandparents, Dean (Janet) Berryman, and in-law grandparents, Jerry (Jackie) Siebersma and Duwayne (Debbie) Hanson; and her lifelong friend, Ginger Shepherd.
