I will forever keep you in my heart. 'Til we meet again...
I remain your loving sister.

Dawn and family,
I know it has been a long time since we have seen each other or spoke but I have never forgotten you or your family. I was so sorry to read of JJ's passing in the paper this morning. I have fond memories of him and all your family from Ivy Crescent. May all your wonderful memories and good times with him bring you comfort during this difficult time. With love and prayers,
