Dear Dawn and family, I was so sorry to hear about your mom passing. She was a beautiful, kind and loving person. Her love for her children gave her life meaning and joy. I will never forget our trip to Ohio University when you and Debi went off to college. I'm sure she is still watching over all her children. Stay strong.

God bless you,
