I am so sorry for your loss. We have just lost my mother a few days prior and it was hard. The one thing that I keep telling myself is that she is no longer in pain she´s no longer suffering. She´s in peace, happiness, and joy because she´s with her family up in heaven, I know my grandma Major she probably has my mother playing the accordion while they´re dancing to the polka´s

Dawn, you were wonderful, caring, and oh so funny! Your laugh was infectious and you helped to make work a good place to be. Here's to the memories of pool parties, of your beloved Kody who wouldn't listen to me and who required you speaking on the cellphone with him to tell him to get back to the fenced in yard. The neighbors must have thought I was bonkers walking after your dog with the phone to his ear. Your friendship was unlike any other I had previous or since. Hang out by the pool in Heaven and clear a space for my towel, okay?

My deepest sympathies for the Major family & friends. Another Angel was called home to our Lord a little too soon. I have many memories with Dawn I will treasure forever. Going many places, playing with Dusty & our cat Midnight, crafts with grandkids, swimming at your pool, etc
She will be sadly missed but never forgotten! Treasure the great memories with her to help you through this difficult time!
