Today I was trying to connect with Dina, only to discover she had passed away. I am shocked by this news and feel so sad. She once hired me to run a workshop for her executive team and she was a pleasure to work with. My heartfelt condolences to Dina's family.
This wall has been a great help to us even though some comments bring back too many memories at one time. Greiving is hard but necessary work. Our thanks to all who have contirbuted comments.

Rest in Peace Sweet Dina!

I'm so grateful I got to visit with Dina one last time in April. I'm also so grateful & thankful we hugged at the end of our last visit together. Thank you for all the wonderful childhood memories & all the fun times we had together as kids & adults. I loved you & will always love like a sister. You will be deeply missed.
May Marlowe, Eli , Mignon, Bentley & family members remain strong through this difficult time. May your hearts be filled with loving & fun memories you shared with this incredible woman.
Lots of Love

I worked with her at DM. She was a "Blight Light" in an otherwise dark place and never let the darkness get to her. She did and could have done so many good thing for the place. But, she wasn't allow to give her full potential. I will miss her as a great person and a great professional. The world is much less without her. Wade Sickinger.
Dina was a person who lit up a room, or in our case, the neighborhood. She will be misssed and my heart goes out to you Marlowe and the kids.

It really saddens me to think we lost someone as wonderful as Dina. She will be missed so much . I will miss seeing her in my shop every 5 weeks . She always brought so much joy to my day!!! It was wonderful knowing her!!!
I am so full of memories of hanging out on the bayou with little boys, walks in your neighborhood, and the arrival of Mignon. As we left NOLA in the diaspora after Katrina, life had to move on and I am sorry to not have know Dina and Marlowe and kids in these last years. I am holding you all in my heart and imagining the lives you have been leading, supported by so many wonderful people, as seen here. Dina--I remember her voice so well. She had a different cadence and placement than most people. I remember her smile and her laugh, and, as my sister said, lots of good food on the table. And fierce mother love. The Derby gang is growing above and my tears are added to the river of sadness that Dina had to go so soon...

Can someone put a better photo of Dina up here? This just doesn't look like her.
I was deeply saddened to hear of DIna's passing. Though I have lived out of state for many years I have many fond memories from our days at CHS. She always made me laugh and her love of life was such a blessing. She will be greatly missed! I hope that God's grace brings peace and comfort to all that loved her during this difficult time especially to her beautiful children.
