Dawn on her favorite felled tree- Knock Knolls Park, Fall 2023

Dawn´s family lived in the neighborhood I grew up in. She was good friends with my sister Peggy so we saw Dawn alot. Dale was good friends with my brother Jim. I pass by your old house all the time and have thought about the family many times over the years.

I am so sorry to hear Dawn has passed away. What a legacy she left! All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers as you prepare to lay your beloved Dawn to rest.
May the Lord hold you all in his arms at this most difficult and sad time.

She grew up in the neighborhood my family lived in.

I met Dawn through Young Living, and our Raindrop Training, way back when... I will miss her contagious positivity and smile.
Another angel taken too soon.
May her light keep on shining through all of the ones she loved and who loved her.

I met Dawn through our mutual friends in the aromatherapy business. She was so creative in the way she organized fun interesting classes! I taught a class on Reflexology at her home. We had so much fun and enjoyed a beautiful weekend together! Her only concern learning reflexology was the toll oh her hands. I assured her that my style was gentle on her hands and very effective for the receiver. Right away she added essential oils and git amazing results! She had a wonderful way of nurturing others. She will truly be missed.

When I moved to Illinois for my first real job after college, Dawn was one of my first friends in my new home. We met as across-the-hall neighbors living in a big Victorian house in Waukegan, IL. We both lived in apartments on the third floor up some very narrow, steep stairs. In the winter it was cold and drafty, but we shared a love of sewing, and we each worked at making it warm and comfy. We often cooked for one another. I met her love, John, shortly after, and the two invited me to join them on some of their adventures. I often reflect on those days and laugh. Her infectious joy buoyed me along on many days. She was the embodiment of all that is best about our world. For that reason, I asked her to be the Godmother to my son, Tom. I will carry and cherish the blessing of having known her and send hope and comfort to her family.

My heart is so heavy but although she has gone physically her beautiful spirit lives on in each of us.

Dawn was a huge part of my life while living in Brookfield, WI. We each had three kids the same age. As young Moms, we would share homemade soup and salad at our homes before launching our kindergarteners on the bus and putting the rest of the brood down for naps. To this day, I cherish and frequently use her recipes. Her February mother/ daughter tea parties were legendary. My daughter and I have had fun reminiscing about those events. While my beloved Dad was dying, Dawn quickly stepped up to help care for my kids as I was at the hospital. I am a better person because of Dawn, and her memory will always bring a smile to my face. Sending gentle hugs and mighty prayers to John, the kids, and all those of us touched by her remarkable life. With love and gratitude for Dawn, Caren, Jim, Dave, Jeff and Maggie Groose

The best. Miss you always mama.

The best.

We will always remember the times we shared with Dawn and John at the Holiday and family gatherings we shared with them. These are the memories we will always cherish! We love and miss you Dawn.

We enjoyed yoga together on many occasions. She was a breath of fresh air. She will be missed, but never forgotten.

dawn and I had our first one on one in a canoe on Whalen Lake after meeting at WESOS. I remember the day vividly. She brought back my love of canoeing which my dad and I used to do when I was a kid. Dawn will always hold a special place in my heart. She supported me for years and also came to provide healing for my dad when he was on hospice. She kept saying what a gift it was to her to be of service to him. He truly loved her and the energy she brought when she came to visit. She will remain in my family´s heart forever.

Dawn's smile lit up every room she entered; her manner was always inviting; and her attention was always on the person in front of her. I miss her gentle touch, her adorable quirks, and am grateful for the way she loved me and our family.
