Busy mom makes time to care for others

I would like to nominate Dana Dykema, an Upper Lynn Valley woman, for the Good Neighbour Award. As you probably know, Chelsea Steyns passed away earlier this year from cancer, leaving behind a husband and two sets of twins.There is a Food For the Family calendar online where you can sign up to provide meals to Chelsea's family. At least once a month since the calendar was published online, Dana has signed up to provide meals for the Croft family. She is a busy mom with four kids under six(!), but she still finds time to be very active in the community, to volunteer her time, and to provide these meals. She's a wonderful, understated lady who doesn't go out of her way to be the center of attention - which is why she deserves to win the Good Neighbour Award!- Submitted by a friend who asked to remain anonymous
