Preceded in death by her grandfathers, "Mike" Michaelis, Art Wigdahl, and grandmother Irene Burge.

Love you so much Dawn, I'm gonna miss your voice all the funny conversations, miss you coming out your house with a huge smile just to say hi when I pick up kids, gonna miss seeing and hearing you sing with head phones while your tanning in Your backyard for the summer. Most of all I'll miss you being next to me at all the kids special events. I'm so forever grateful for god for putting you in our life. You'll be missed but never Ever forgotten. thank you for being an awesome aunt and always making the kids laugh. I promise I'll be there for your family & Smokey your cat. I'll see you in heaven and will continue where we left off. Love you for eternity! P.s kinda wish I said yes to those boots you ordered and didn't fit you, so you offered them to demi or Ever and I said um Evers 4 and Demi like 6 dawn !
