Dear family of Dawn (Dibiaso) Ledden, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I have heard many happy stories of Dawn from my late mother-in-law (Antoinette Grimaldi) and I was fortunate enough to meet her while she was visiting our Mom (Antoinette). Even though I met Dawn only once, she left me with a good impression. I knew Dawn to be a very kind, warm, understanding, and happy individual. If Mom were still alive, this would break her heart all over again. I know for certain that Antoinette loved Dawn like a sister, and anyone who knew Dawn knows that she was a blessing and a joy to everyone around her. Our hearts go out to you, and your family will be in our prayers. God Bless You All.

I know how hard this must be for all of you. My mother (Antoinette) recently passed away as well. It is a difficult time and it will get harder as well as easier as the days go by. I felt as if the world was going to collapse around me. my mother was special to me as I know yours was. if you would like to contact me and talk about it. You can e-mail me at [email protected] I also have a facebook. Please contact me if you need support. I can't help in a material way, but I can provide emotional support for this difficult time. Dawn was my mother's best and most trusted friend. it saddens me greatly that I cannot be there for her and for all of you.

Dear Ledden Family,
I was heartbroken as I read the sad news today in the newspaper of Dawn's passing. I met her years ago when her son Andrew attended the preschool where I was director. Dawn was so friendly, and we talked often. She was a great Mother, and always involved in our school functions. I ran into her just a few years ago, and she proudly took out a photo from her wallet of Andrew to show me how much he had grown...again, such a loving & proud Mom! I just want you all to know that you are in my thoughts & prayers, and again, I'm so deeply sorry for your loss!
