What a beautiful kind woman. I was looking at Obits online and saw my dear friend. I met the Dragans at Garfields many many years ago and became their regular server. Such joy they brought to my evening shifts. They both always got the Chicken Walnut salad with one glass of zin and always started with a small cup each of Walnuts. what a lovely in love couple. It was always evident that they were soul mates and still in love after all those years. Mrs. Dragan was so beautiful and demure. she just could warm up a room. my memories of the two are very special and they will both be very missed by all who knew them. They both talked very fondly about their children and grandchildren often. very proud parents and grandparents. they were also always interested in me and what my week held till we met again. I can just hear both of them talking to me and her smile and his humor. I always made sure they both had a freshly made salad and they were always appreciative. What great days those were. Cheers to you both till we meet again. Fondly, Dianne Shepherd
Dear Dragann Family,
I was so saddened to read of the passing of your sweet Mother. She was a patient of mine at the dentist and I saw her every 3 months for many, many years. We enjoyed talking about our children and grandchildren and church. She was especially proud of the two great-grandsons. She gently gave me good advice. Your Father came with her to the waiting room for many years. I sent her a card after his passing and couldn’t believe I would not see her again when I read about her too. After 68 years I am sure she wanted to be with him still. Now they are together and praying for us left here. I hope that thought and your good memories will comfort you at this sad time. I miss her very much too.
Blessings to you, Ann Marie Dumm
