DANA BENSON SHERMAN March 2,1970 to September 29,2002 @11:37pm


   My son Dana was shot and killed when he was up to Los Angeles to visit his younger brother. He was sitting in the back seat of an acquaintance car and my younger son (Daniel) was sitting shotgun. They were going to pick up Daniel's girlfriend from work on Canoga Ave. in Woodland Hills, Ca. when a Pearl White Cadillac Escalade EXT pulled up next to their car and rolled down their black tinted windows and shot over 17 bullet holes in the car my sons were in. One bullet hit Dana between the 4th and 5th vertebra. He told Daniel "Dan, I can't feel my legs" within 15 minutes he went into cardiac arrest and never regained consciousness. His murderers have never been caught. They didn't know he was the father of 3 children, the brother of 2 brothers and 2 sisters, a father and stepmother and his stepfather and me his mother who will remember him every second of everyday. His wife lost a best friend and his friends not only lost a good honest friend but a man of God who was also a bible study teacher and a spiritual advisor. I look forward to seeing him someday, but until then "I LOVE YOU MY WONDERFUL, THOUGHTFUL AND OH SO SPECIAL SON. YOU'LL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS AND ON OUR MINDS"! I'll never rest until they find his killers. I want them to know what they did to my grandchildren. That my granddaughter win 2nd place in the San Diego Art Institute and her painting was shown at Balboa Park and in Long Beach. Many people saw it but not her Dad.
