What sad news, God bless you all at this time. I knew Dawn from High school and every 5 years we would run into each other and share stories. I am so sad she is gone. May you remember all the fun and good she shared. She was so proud of what she had.

To Dawn's closest family members and friends:

I can just picture Dawn and Grammy giving Uncle Joe a hard time about something and in a good hearted way, poking fun at him. I can almost hear both of them laughing together!
Peace to Dawn and to all those who will miss her.

Words cannot express the sorrow from a loss of a child or sibling. Only those who know what it feels like will be able to sympathize with your pain. May Dawn have everlasting peace from this day forward as she enters into the gates of heaven. May your hearts heal in time from this loss.
