Read MoreDear Denise (and family), If you see this please contact me at my e-mail. On the computer today, something told me to look up Dawn. I am so sorry for your loss. I was so sad to see she has passed away. She was the very first friend I made when we moved to Niles at 5 years old. You are in my prayers.

Dawn was one of the kindest, true and good hearted persons who ever lived. I found out today after not hearing from her for a number of months. My fears were confirmed. She loved life, holidays, family and friends. I remember when she met Aerosmith in the early 90s. She was one of the best people I will ever know and I am a better person for having known her. She will live forever in our hearts and memories.
Love,
Jeff, Lisa, Cosmo & Zoe

I will miss you Dawn. To all of her family, she in the last year became my rock. I have gone through some rough times and lost 4 sister-in-laws through a divorce and now one through death. I know she is dancing with my Dad now.
Love,
Terry
God Bless you all.

My deepest sympathies to Dawn's family and to all of her friends as well. She was like a little sister to all of us in highschool and after and I know she'll be deeply missed. She was the kindest, warmest and most generous person I've ever met.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to all of Dawn's family members. We met the day she was diagnosed with her breast cancer and I sat with her holding her hand her last hospital stay. Dawn was more than a patient, she was a friend and she will be deeply missed. May she rest in peace.

Dear Femmmel DeCicco Family,
Dawn will be greatly missed! The moment I met her I felt I knew her forever. She was a very kind, loving and caring person. I just recently lost my sister to cancer, so I know what you are going through. Dawn will always remain in my heart and thoughts. She was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed by all - the world would be a better place if there were more people like her. God has called her home and may she find peace and happiness.

I KNEW DAWN FOR ONLY A FEW YEARS BUT I LOVED HER FOR HER KINDNESS.WE TALKED ON THE PHONE FOR HOURS AT A TIME, ALMOST DAILY UNTIL RECENTLY. SHE LEFT US MUCH TOO SOON AND I KNOW THAT SO MANY OF US WILL HAVE A VOID IN OUR LIVES WITHOUT HER.

With our deepest sympathies...
The ones we love remain with us
For love itself lives on.
And Cherished memories do not fade
Because a loved one is gone!
The ones we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
And as long as there is memory,
Dawn will live on in our hearts.
