Dawn: You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. As always I look to my positive thoughts for inspiration. I wish you light in your darkest hours. When life seems to be confusing or empty, and when your path seems to be hidden in the shadows of pain, doubt, despair, or unrest may you find the light inside of you that will help you to see things as they truly are, for every night comes to an end, every storm comes to an end, every storm runs its course, and light and peace always return to us. Your son was blessed to have you for a mother. Regards, Theresa Burruano

Dawn and Greg,
I remember John flying across the yards on a sled towed by Jetta. The look on his face was pure joy, he laughed because I thought that the sled was moving too fast. He was a fine young man and always kind to my girls. I am shocked and sad. So sorry for your loss. Your family is in our prayers.
