We didn't know Dawn, but her father has been a loyal hunter and friend for years in our tournaments at our website. We wanted to pay our respects to Gary and Josette and family, and to thank Dawn posthumously for her many years of service for our country. Rebecca and Tom (honeywest and DHRifleman).

It is with great sadness in my heart that I extend my deepest sympathy to the family of Dawn.

I know that you are surrounded by enormous love from your family and friends. PSALMS 145:14 says, "He is giving support to all who are falling and is raising up all who are bowed down." Therefore, I encourage you to take encouragement in prayer and take comfort in knowing that God is there for you and cares for you. Sincerely, Lee
