After meeting Dawn for the first time (many years ago) I told Mike, Dawn's nephew, "your aunt is beautiful!" Little did i know that her beauty was not only external but internal as well. Everytime I would see her she would greet me with the biggest smile & say "Hey Annette!". She would make me laugh when I would visit Mike on lunch down at her/his job. She helped our family not with a hand out but with a hand up because that's her.She knew how to live life and she did it well. She knew how to love and she did it well.And when the situation called for it-she had your back and she did it well. The morning we got the news-I was comforting Mike and I told him "your aunt is beautiful" BUT this time I know how deep her beauty really is.
