I was so sorry to hear about Dawn. She has been on my mine for quite some time. Now I know why. Most of all, I remember her laughter. She was a wonderful person and always warmed my heart. She will live in our hearts forever.

You will forever live with in my heart and my soul. You are one of the strongest women I have ever known. You are in a great place now. No suffering. No pain. No saddness. No wonders. No worries. After all the challenges you have faced, you are now being rewarded. Though it seems unfair to lose you, we will meet again. There has been someone up there for years waiting to be in your arms again. You will be missed deeply.

I remember Dawn as a gentle and easy going lady. She was always very observant and seemed to choose her words carefully. She always had a kind word for me and offered suggestions to me on issues she had personally dealt with. We worked for seven years together at Eaton Corp. To Dawn's family and close friends-I offer my condolences. I pray that God will strengthen and comfort you now, and the years to come.

Dawn...what a beautiful soul, we were best friends in high school and remained friends throughout the years. Dawn had a spirit that can't be matched, through all of her trials and tribulations she remained strong! God has chosen to take her home to be re-united with those that she loved and lost over the years, and I know she was met with open arms! God Bless you my friend, you are finally at peace, you will be missed greatly, but we shall meet again someday! My Love and Prayers to those she left behind. Forever Friends, Carol (Hewitt) Russell
