I just read about Dawny. I am so sorry to hear. I know she will be missed. My deepest sympathies from my Jean, Mike and myself. She has done her work here on Earth and God has called her home to be with him. I will truly miss her now more than ever. Much love and best wishes to you all.

My deepest condolences to the Conover family. I met Dawn years ago at Pathmark and we continued talking and emailing each other while she worked at Shoprite. There were many times
while I shopped I would go over to her lane to cash out when I had a few things in my cart to give her a break. We would strike up conversations and make each other laugh all of the time. Oh how her smile would light up the room. When I was told of her passing it hit me hard. Dawn was like a younger sister and she will be missed. Once in awhile I would see her mother and sister in Shoprite. I send you and your entire family all of the love, prayers and thoughts during this time of need.
