I grew up next door to Dawn and have many wonderful memories of playing with her. She was one of the kindest people I´ve ever known. My heart goes out to all her loved ones.

Our family lived next door to the Millers through the 1960s. They were wonderful neighbors, always friendly, and I always got a happy greeting from Dawn when we saw each other. Fast forward to the past few years and I would occasionally meet up with Dawn and her mom when we'd find ourselves at the same local restaurant for lunch. It was always nice to catch up with each other, and they were always as friendly as ever.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Dawn when my Dad (Mac) and George used to bowl at Poelking Lanes on Wilmington. Lot of Friday nights at the bowling alley.
