Dawn was a classmate for 12 years at the former Thompson School. Small in stature with a huge heart and infectious smile. Her family had the only T.V. among the class. Of course Dawn invited all to watch the inauguration of President Eisenhower. My sympathy goes out to the family of this wonderful lady.
May she rest in peace.

My Deepest Sympathy to Jody,Neil, Jill and family!
Dawn was my best friend in High School and beyond. We stayed in touch, even though, she was in Ohio and I moved to Maryland. We even got a chance to visit each other, but not as often as we wanted to. We had such good times and now I have wonderful memories of my friend and I will always remember her.
