August 24, 2008
We are saddened to announce the passing of our sister, drummer and friend Dayna Franklin, from this world. She was an amazing musician who kept our foundation strong, powerful and peaceful for seven years. She fought a long and challenging battle with cancer, and finally rejoined the universe on the morning of Tuesday, August 19th. We will miss and remember and love her forever. Rest in Peace Dayna - we will keep your drumbeat in our hearts.
