Dawn Grace Penders

Billy & Family,
We just found out about the loss of your wife Dawn. So sorry for your loss, please know that we will pray that God gives you comfort through your loss. Your wife Dawn sounds like a remarkable woman, please let the rest of your family know how sorry we are. Keep Dawn's memory close to you.

Our sincerest sympathies...what a shock

Offering our deepest sympathies during this time.

Dawn you have been an inspiration to us all for many years. Running in the famed Freihofer's Race for Women in Albany as a blind woman was monumental. Working so hard to attain your Master's Degree, and fighting thru all roadblocks this life has put before you. Bask in God's Glory my dear cousin and celebrate your life and rejoice with those who have gone before you. I shall pray for you, Bill, Kelly, Peter and family.
Love,
Billy

Some of my earliest memories of Aunt Dawn are of being in her kitchen in Ardsley, watching her prepare syringes to manage Michele's diabetes. Even as a young girl, I remember being aware of how frightening that must have been for her and in awe of her strength. I remember admiring the persistence and determination it took for her to earn her Master's degree while mothering her three children and bravely facing her diagnosis of RP, knowing it would slowly erode and finally take her sight. ...

We were saddened to hear of Dawn's passing. Please know how very sorry we are. Hold on to your memories. They will guide you during this time of sadness.
