I met Dawn when I lived in Springfield and I used to babysit for her she was so sweet and funny and always smiling.

What a beautiful soul our family and the whole world lost. Dawn was always full of life and cheer. Big smile on her face and I don’t think I ever heard her complain. And she could.she didn’t have much but never depended on a man to help her with her 4 children. Dawn, you were a treasure.

We lost a beautiful, loving, generous and always happy daughter. We cry a lot then we try to keep a straight face and tone to appear strong and okay but we’ll never be okay again. Our hearts are facing unbelievable pain with all the unknowns. How can a father grieve and move on with so many questions and receiving no calls very little information?
Lord I pray you watch over Dawn’s family, children and grandchildren always. Comfort their hearts and allow them to remember all the wonderful memories

I was always happy to see Dawn at work. She had great energy. The world needs more people like her. It's a huge loss for those who were fortunate to know her.
