Dear Joe, Patsy and Family,
I'm so so sorry to hear of your loss. My daughter Jodi was really upset when I told her yesterday (she said she has many fond memories of her friendship with Dawn back in their high school years). When ever I saw Dawn at the Ed Center, she always had the biggest smile and greatest personality. I'll remember her fondly. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in this time of sorrow. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I absolutely loved working with Dawn over the years. She had a heart of gold and was always willing to put her colleagues first whatever the need. Her enthusiasm for her work with the Bethlehem Aides ESP Association was always a topic of discussion between us when we were together. I will miss her smiling face and kindness. May you find comfort knowing she is at peace and may there always be a daily reminder of her spirit that makes you smile for years to come. One day at a time, always, her love for you will be in your hearts. --- Jolene Vitalos, President, Bethlehem Education Association

I worked with Dawn at Clearview where she was always helpful and enthusiastic. My husband and I REALLY got to know Dawn when we worked on the project to adopt a school in New Orleans after the flood. She worked tirelessly on updating unused computers from the district to be refurbished. We then spent five days on the road to and from New Orleans and at the school to share a truckload of gifts from our students, faculty and district, as well as local businesses. She was a huge, enthusiastic part of this project. We had many laughs and tears during that time, and Dawn will always hold a huge place in many people's hearts.

Dear Mr.& Mrs.P,Stan,Scott, & Mackenzie,
Words alone cannot express how saddened we are to hear of Dawn's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We met at Liberty and shared so many great times in school and after we graduated. We were in each others weddings and we helped to move in each others homes.
We shared so many wonderful times and experiences together.
"Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of your lost ones pours through and shines down upon you to let you know they are happy and at peace".
May your memories give you peace and comfort. God Bless you and may Dawn's life be eternal.
Love,
Nick and Sandy Gatanis

Mr. & Mrs. P, and Scott and Mackenzie, I hadn't seen Dawn since 1985 when I graduated, but she will always be in my memory as the cute little bando who always made me laugh and was as nice as could be. What a beautiful person. Gone too soon, but so many are pulling for you now. She surely will keep watch over you and will be there every time you think of her. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Dawn, God called you way too soon. Saying goodbye to you on Sunday was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I will always keep my promise to you, to look after Kenzie as if she was my own daughter, now Marcus and her are really bother and sister as we would constantly joke about. I will greatly miss our 2 to 3 talks a day, but I hope you will continue to talk to me daily (I need it). I can't wait to tell you everything when I see you again. Scott, Mackenzie, Mr. And Mrs. P I will always be here for ANYTHING you need.
Love, Sandy

Thoughts and Prayers to the family. I worked with Dawn, starting at William Penn and all through the years in Bethlehem Schools, and she was always so sweet and helpful. She was kind enough to have me over for dinner, and several times passed on clothes for my girls. She was so very kind. I will always remember her as a special person, and she will be sadly missed.

Dear James and Palhofski Families,
I was so saddened to hear of Dawn's passing. We grew up together at William Penn, Northeast and Liberty. I will always remember her smile and her fun-loving personality, playing with her at the little league field, riding bikes with her and Chrissy and Heidi. It was so long ago, but I remember it well. She is gone way too soon, but the memories will live on. God bless you as you go through this difficult time. I'm so sorry for your loss.
