Not sure what to say?

Dawn was my very best friend when I graduated from high school. We continued to be lifelong friends although many years would go by without much contact. My family, the Lindblooms, and her family, the Saxtons, love and care for each other. My sisters grew up with Dawn's sister and brothers. We spent many good times together "Down the Shore" at Long Beach Island, NJ. My fondest memories of Dawn are always beside the sea, Atlantic AND Pacific.

Dawn and I were friends in elementary school. Although many years have passed, I can still picture her smile, feel her kindness, and envy how fast she could run!! It was always special to be invited to her house after school to enjoy her warm welcoming family. I guess I'll always picture her as 12 years old.

Dawn cared so much for everyone around her. As a part of Public Health I saw her efforts to make this community a safe and healthy place. She was always there to lend a hand or help out in any way. She spoke so lovingly of her family, and treasured the animals in her care. She will be missed.

My heart goes out to Dawn's family and friends. I recall visting Dawn at her beautiful little cabin in CA many years ago with my sister Karen and watching Dawn's goats give birth. Dawn was a very special person who loved life & whom I'm sure will be missed by many.

Rest in peace Dawn, you lovely, kind woman-

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many of Dawn's former class mates are with you at this time of sorrow. Attending elementary, middle and high school together, Dawn's intelligent and creative spirit was and always will be part of our own lives. We pray that your pain of sorrow may be lessened over time by the happy memories that Dawn holds for you.

Bob and Family, I'm so sorry for your lose. Dawn was a sweet, funny girl. She greeted me everyday with a smile and her friendship. We talked everyday about a variety of things, her cabin in Carlotta, her vacation to Mexico, her love of animals. Dawn had many interests and was knowledgeable on many different subjects. I still expect to see her sitting in back of the building soaking up the sunshine. Rest in peace Dawn, I'll miss you.

Bob and family: Deepest sympathies for your loss. Dawn was always upbeat and positive. She will be missed.
