Dawn Faye Hogan Havalda

We have just today learned of Dawn's untimely death. We are in shock. We didn't know her well, but did have interaction with her in her position with the diocese. Our hearts are heavy and our prayers go out to her family and friends who must be going through much travail over her loss. Know that we are praying for you and that we knew Dawn to be an exceptional person, full of love and commitment to her faith and to the diocese of Austin.

I used to work with Dawn at First Commercial Bank. She was always laughing and being so funny. I was so happy when she was getting married, so happy when she was going to have Hannah, and so heartbroken now. What a shock. She was a wonderful, caring person. She will be missed.
