I am a friend of Dawn's aunt - Vicki Murray. I only had the pleasure of meeting her a few times. But when I think of those times, what I remember most is her just making us laugh and laugh - girl could tell some stories in a great way! I know she will be missed. I'm glad to have had the chance to meet her. Sympathy to all of her family and friends...
