Jillian has been Dana's best friend since about the third grade! They grew up together in Massapequa, played soccer together and have done a lot of coast to coast traveling over the years. She knows Dana better than most and can tell when something is wrong even from 3,000 miles away. It's a God-given talent. Jill is more of a sister than a friend and her family is Dana's second family.
Dana and Jona have been breakin' hearts for ten years! They were pledge sisters in Alpha Gamma Delta and make a darn good drama team. Together, they are the best advice buddies out there and a bottle of Boone's Farm will never get in the way. They also spent too many years running the Cheesecake Factory together. It's amazing that place is still standing without us...I mean, really. Jona is Dana's lifelong squirrel from the back row. "Ooohhhh noooooo."
Nannina is Marco's sister, and his favorite sibling. She is also an attorney and has always been there for Marco whether it's for law school, the Bar Exam, or life in general. Marco has finally gotten over the whole "Slimer" escapade...it turns out vaseline doesn't keep Slimer from Ghostbusters away afterall (even if it's all over your face). That's what big sisters are for! She's also Dana's bridesmaid and future sister. :)
Billy is Dana's brother and if Marco steps out of line, he better watch out. Dana is blessed to have the best brother anyone could ask for. Billy and Dana have become a lot closer over the years and they've been through a lot together. It took a while for them to become so close though. Billy just recently forgave Dana for purposely stepping on his hands when he was a baby. Things are better now.
Mande served as a mentor for Dana through graduate school and all that stressful job searching that comes afterwards. They are sorority sisters as well and have been through more together in the last four years than some friends go through in a lifetime. They work together as advisors for Alpha Gamma Delta and can be quite the smartypants when necessary. :) Mande and Dana- we run this town (and that town too).
Denise is Dana's first cousin and they spent a lot of time together growing up. Denise used to pretend Dana was her baby and they would play dress up and house. They've come a long way since then. :) She is also the mother of Madison, Dana's Goddaughter! Dana wishes North Carolina was on the west coast so she could be closer to Denise!
