Chuck, my heart is deeply sad for the loss of your dear wife Dawna, one whom I have considered a most special sister in Christ, over the years. She was a model of Jesus' joy, love, and service - and now enjoys the awesome presence of Jesus and all the saints. May the Lord bring a new chapter of hope and life to you in the coming days, in His plan. I look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

Much love,
- Hal

Dawna was a friend and dear sister in Christ. Her effervescent for life will be missed by many. Her talents and joy for life serving the Lord are many. I was so blessed to have known her and doubly blessed to have enjoyed her and Chucks musical gifts along with hearing that angelic voice. Oh the heavens have another angel singing now! And how blessed she must be to see so many loved ones that passed before her. Chuck, to you my heart goes out. Something I always loved about the two of you was your devotion to God first and then to each other. It was always so amazing and apparent to witness. May God bless and keep you as he opens your eyes and your heart for His plans that I know he has for you. Much love and Gods peace and joy be upon and within you in the name of Jesus!
