Thank you to Dawn and her family for the scholarship so that I may continue toward earning my degree in Law Enforcement. She is beautiful and I wish that I had known her, perhaps we would have become friends at Massasoit. Christ's peace to Dawn's family.

Another holiday season approaches without you. I haven't sent a card or put up a tree or decorated since you left us. I just don't have any holiday spirit anymore.

Happy Mothers Day Dawn,
You were a mom to so many and loved by all. I still go to pick up the phone and call you when I need your guidance. I think everyday I would trade places with you in a minute, you were pure,honest, loving and the most giving person I'll ever know. I'm sorry for not being the sister I should of been when you needed me most. Vicki misses you alot and she tries to hide her pain, still being the big sister she is and the strongest. I'm so proud of both my sisters and I thank god for the time we had. The girls miss you so much your pictures cover their rooms and they actually listened to everything you taught them. All your lecturing payed off. LOL I cant wait until the day I see you again Dawn some days feel closer than others.
I will love you always and I hope you can forgive me.
Thanks for all you did for my girls and me, your the best Mom ever!!
Today, Tomorrow and Always,
Traci

Dawn,
I never met a nicer person than you; it is a shame to lose such a great person. I’ll miss you and always remember you.
Lauren Butler
December 25, 2008
So, they say missing someone gets easier every day. Because, even though it is one day further from the last time you saw each other, it is one day closer to the next time you will. The easy days are still some times tough days. I hope I can grow to become at least a fraction of the person you were and have as much strength and heart as you did. I love you so much and you’ll forever be in my heart and my thoughts. I only wish we had more time together, I cherish every moment I was able to spend with you. Some of my greatest childhood memories are summers with you. Well, I don’t want to and I won’t say good bye because I know we’ll see each other again so…. See ya later. XoXo.

Dawn,
Words are hard to find. They could never describe the ache in our hearts and the memories in our minds. We will miss you always.
With Love,
Richard and Bernadette
The blow was great, the shock severe.
We little thought the end was near,
And only those who have lost can tell,
The pain of parting without farewell.
More each day we miss you,
Friends may think the wound is healed,
But they little know the sorrow,
That lies within our hearts concealed.
Nothing can ever takeaway,
The love a heart holds dear,
Fond memories linger every day,
Remembrances keep her near.
Millie Butler

Hey Dawn, it's me -
I can't believe a month has already gone bye. I miss our trips to Brighton on Tuesdays. Our stories, out laughter, and even out tears. The people we met and even the ones we tried to avoid. You were such a trooper. You had a great outlook. They loved seeing you come, especially when you started to wear your hat, they loved that hat. I know you love them as much as they loved you. The day we walk up 9 flights of stairs, I will always remember that. My legs start to shake even now when I think of it. But we had fun.
I remember how happy you were when you graduated from college, how you were looking forward in going back. You were going to become the lawyer in the family. How we laugh about Steven becoming your first client. How you were so protected of Steven. Now you truly are his little angel watching over him.
I will always remember the times we spent together. How good you were to your nieces and nephews, not to mention one little boy, who you idolized. You were so interested in what they did. You would even get down on the floor and play with them, even get up on the stage and dance in front of an audience.. They will always remember their Auntie Dawn.
Little buddy, I truly am going to miss you, You will always be in my heart. I know Steven's Mom & Dad were waiting to welcome you and show you around. Until we meet again -
Love you always
Millie

Dawn,
All I can say is God definitely picked an Angel when he chose you. I will always remember and cherish the friendship and good times that we shared back in the days. I wish we kept in touch but our lives just took different pathes and we lost touch. I can still see your smile and hear your laugh. You were the kindest and gentlest person I've ever known. I wish I could turn back the time to see you again but I know someday we will meet and be friends again.
Traci Stuart
November 29, 2008
Dawn, I love you so much. You will always be my big sister. We went threw so much growing up and I never thought this could happen to you. I could not bare to see you in pain. It kills me that I couldnt protect you. I could always count on you for guidance or just to vent about life. I cant believe I will never talk to you again. Please never forget how much I love you and I promise we will be together again. I know Pampy is with you, just like when we were kids. I remember how we always talked about if it wasnt for Nana and Pampy being there for us as kids we never would of had love. Then you met Steven and I was so happy for you because you found true love. You have the biggest heart of anyone I've ever met in this messed up world. The girls are taking it so hard, you werent just their Auntie you were there Auntie Mom. Look over them once in awhile and guide them down the right path. They will never forget the life advise you would give them and how you only wanted them to have everything we never had. Till we are three once again.
Jessica Butler
November 27, 2008
Dawn,
Today was Thanksgiving and it was hard without you, but I know you were with us in spirit...and to keep an eye out for Steven!
As cliche as it sounds you were the best aunt I could have asked for. You were always wondering about our lives, and what we were up to. You always played with us when we were younger, and you were always there for all of us. You weren't just an aunt, or my god mother but much much more then that. You loved your nieces and nephews like no other, and there will always be a void in our lives without you. I will miss you so much but I know you are in a better place. I will hold on to your memories, your smile, your laugh and your spirit. I'll hold on to you in my thoughts and heart for life.
It's not goodbye, it's see you in another life.
I love you and miss you tons. Save me a place up there.
<3 Love you
Maria Hunsberger-Ingram
November 27, 2008
Dawn, where to begin I have no idea, it's been so long since I have seen or heard from you and I really can't blame either one of us because our lives and our families have taken us on different journeys. I so wished I knew that you were going through this difficult time I most certainly would have made sure to make some time to come and visit please forgive me because I feel as if I should have known. I will never meet up with another person such as you, you have never in all the years that we have known each other had anything bad to say about anyone. I know that those who have crossed paths with you have been blessed to have known you. I can't believe that you are gone...I feel the lose and again I am deeply sorry.
Vicki Stuart
November 27, 2008
Dawn:
I woke up crying this morning because Thanksgiving is a day that we would visit together and share stories from our childhood and talk about our lives. I did all the things you asked of me and I hope that it pleased you. I'm certain that Pampy is thrilled to have you with him.
I will honor your memory and hold you in my heart until it's time for us to meet again.
Love,
Vicki

Hi big sister, it is your little brother Rafael. I am so sorry we never really had a chance to meet. Mom has always spoke highly of you. I guess you can not get any higher than Heaven where I am sure you are at. I have always felt so weird and alone saying, I have sisters but have never really known them. Please known that I will miss you, because I have always held a spot open in my heart.

November 23, 2008
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
