Such fond memories of growing up with Dawne and her brothers Randy and Kevin. So thankful to have been connected again on an almost daily basis with Dawne through Facebook. She was and is so loved. She was a Christian and is whole and joyful forevermore, but we are thinking of her loved ones and caring so very much.
