I met Dawn through my sister-in-law, Amy K. They were best friends. Dawn quickly became a family friend. She would come to Minonk many a weekend and we would play games, have lots of interesting discussions and share supper. I was amazed at how much Dawn knew about current events and spiritual topics. She could really get you thinking about things. I miss those conversations. She was also very good to my mom. She would stop over after work and they would take little walks together, something my mom really enjoyed and much appreciated. In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Dawn was such a thoughtful and caring person and willing to help anyway she could.
I know family and friends will miss her greatly, but heaven just gained a loving Angel !
