Tom and family, I can't begin to express the sadness in my heart and the deep sympathy I have for you. Dawn always brightened my day when I saw her, knowing the pain she was in, the worry and uncertainty of her future she always smiled, laughed and the incredible strength and optimism she had was the envy of many even on our best days. I will miss her greatly but I am honored the our paths crossed and I will cherish the friendship and time we were able to spend together. May God bless you and help you at this time. With my deepest sympathy, Pam Henry
