My eyes filled with tears hearing of your passing. Your smile was infectious, your humor intoxicating and your personality was illuminating just like the gleam in your eyes. I've missed you since the day I left the lakes. May the Love in your heart give you life eternally.

May you enter into God's open arms in Peace. Dawn, you are now in my cloud of witnesses with my mother and others that have gone on before me to become that Angel to watch over me and to prepare a place for me. Gone to soon for me but right on time for God. Kudos to Dawn, you made it to a much better place then this here planet.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Dawn's passing. She was a kind heart and deserved much better in this life. I only can pray that she is at peace. She was a co-worker years ago and we shared many laughs. I pray she is no longer in pain and finds the happiness that she so much always deserved.

Dawn was truly one of the kindest people I know. Even with all of the turmoil in her life, she never failed to ask about me and my son. Dawnie, you deserved better than you got in this life. Rest in peace. I hope the Vikings have a great season just for you!
