So sorry to hear of Dawn´s passing.
She always had a smile that showed her love for the Lord. When I was young, we all went to church in Warrensburg...she had a necklace with an R. Being a kid, I asked her what the R stood for -
She immediately said " Redeemed" she always had a witness

I loved Dawn! She was such a lovely person who loved Jesus! She was a sweet, kind, happy person and a real American patriot. I believe sited her and Dona Walker often prior to COVID at Evergreen. Just a few days ago we worked out at Planet Fitness together. We planned on going out for lunch and was going to do some Christmas shopping. Friday around 11:45 a.m. we say her and we think it was Trucilla going east bound on Lost Bridge in her beautiful burgundy and tan Buick car she described as the "Car got got for her." My husband Jerry and I are heart broken. She was a real joy to know! I can tell you she is in Heaven without a doubt! I can see her now spreading happiness, love and kindness....and she´s heard this Matthew 25:21
Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Dawn helped me with my faith walk so I know I´ll see her again one day. As for now I sure miss her!
