Hi sister, it has been a while since I have been in here talking to you. Cindi created you a facebook page and I go on there more often to post little things to you. I just got done balling my eyes out on papa's page so I am gonna try to be good on your. It was the first time I have written on his page. I tell you what Aunt Carol is a busy little bee, always thinking and talking to both of you guys. I think that's nice of her. I tell you what I sure do miss you soooo much. It is so hard to look at your pictures, cause then the reality sets in. But I know you hear me talking to you, and the questions I ask. The memories I play over and over in my head you have to know. Well so much for not crying..... It is reality when I write to you, it is a slap in the face that this is real, you are gone. I hate it! And that is why I don't come here often, I hate the reality of it all. I can't believe it will be 2 years already. I wish it was none :( I wish I wish I wish you were still here. I often wonder why so soon. I will never know. Well sister I love you to pieces and miss you with all my heart. Hey did you see all the birthday wishes I got you on my face book????? I KNOW YOU DID! AND I KNOW YOU WERE ALL HAPPY AND CLAPPING AND DOING YOUR LITTLE JUMP THING. I love you so much Dawn. I will come back soon.
Love always,
Missy

Life here is just as buzy as always and i just have to thank GOD for every day that we wake up. Christopher calls every once in a while boy does he sound like he is ffrom texas.Where did that come from? Bristina calls and it is good to talk to her and she talks to Brandon all the time.

January 13, 2011
Hi Dawn, one year today I got a call from my mom telling me you had passed away. I was walking into my bible study class that night and right before I walked in the doors my mom called my cell. I was in complete shock. I'm so thankful I got to pray for you that night with my group. A life gone way to soon but I know you are walking the streets of heaven and loving it!! You are wondering why our poor souls are still doing down here..LOL!! Rest in peace sweet cousin Dawn! Michele
January 13, 2011
Hi Dawn, well today is 1 year without you in our presence. Why does it seem like the time just flew right by? I guess it's just 1 year closer till we all meet up again. I love you and miss you so so so much. It is still so hard for me to accept the fact that you are gone. I just tell myself you are away on an extented vacation, this helps me deal with the loss better in my head I guess.... We are all going over to moms for a bbq to celebrate your life. It would be way to easy to sit around and mope about the day, so Cindi came up with the great idea of celebrating. This will help all of us, I am sure. Well I gotta go for now but remember I am always always always thinking of you! I love you Dawn!
Love,
Missy

Hi Dawn, I wrote you recently but I see it did not post. Kinda bummed about that. I want you to know I love and miss you so so much. I know these holidays are the hardest for everyone, especially with your birthday right around the corner. I will keep moms tradition alive by putting up our Christmas tree on your birthday. As hard as it is going to be for mom this year without you, she has a couple extra little ones in her life right now to keep her busy. Jayden and Tristen are with her. It doesn't mean she does not think of you all the time, but you already know that right. She is going in for surgery here in about an hour, please be with her I know she is scared and so are we. I will count down the days for your birthday just as you always did... I can hear you in my head. Man I miss you so darn much. It is hard to keep telling myself you are on "vacation" and we will see eachother again. I know it won't be for a while, but we will see eachother again. I love you Dawn and so does everyone down here. I will write soon! Love Always,
Love
Me

Hi sister! I have been thinking about you a lot lately! So much so I feel guilty for not being here in a while and writing you. A lot of things have happened since I was in here last, as I am sure you already know because you watch over everyone I am sure. You were and always will be the "care taker" of everyone and their feelings. Man I miss you so much! Sometimes I can't get that day Ben called me out of my head, it really bothers me. I try to put all the good memories over that, but it is hard to do sometimes. Well I am gonna go help Billy outside right now, we had some storm damage, but I am sure you already knew that, lol! I just wanted to drop by and give you my thoughts and let you know we all love and miss you so much! Love You Always,
Love,
Me

Hey Dawn just heard Reba's song "My Sister My Friend"....Made me think of you soooo I figured I would drop you a few lines. It has been a few weeks since I have written to you. Well mom hasn't been here in a couple days she fell on Sunday (as I'm sure you know) and has been in the hospital since (today is Wed) I know you are with her in spirit at the hospital. You wouldn't have it any other way. Please help give her strength to get over this hurdle she has come to. I love you Dawn and miss you sooooo much! I know you know that. But I still need to say it, I know you would! This is gonna be a short one for now. I am at work and like I said I just heard that song and it made me think of you! I will write you more often for the next couple of weeks just cause I know mom isnt gonna have access to a computer. And she is so right the weather has been very strange since you went on "vacation"... (this is where I tell my self you are) Sunny one day and rains the next. I love you Dawn and will visit soon! Love Missy!

Hi Dawn, I just wanted to stop in and say Hi! I miss you so much, and wish I could just pick up the phone and call you. I wish I could just hear your "I love you" one more time. I wish I could hear,say and do so many things just one more time. I hope you,grandma,the babies and everyone else up there had a good celebration for grandmas birthday. I want you to know there is not ONE DAY that goes buy where you don't pass through my thoughts. It is still so hard to believe you are gone (for now). Just know you are never forgotten. I know everyone thinks of you at least once a day! I still need to get mom and Eric their video's of you w/ their song's they picked but it is so hard to listen to the music and look at your pictures and not cry. Even though I know you are in a much better place and without pain and the struggles of "life", it is still hard to deal with the fact that there will never be another birthday party you come to, no holidays..., no hugs, no laughs, no I love you more's, no phone calls, nothing :(... I know you will be there watching over us, it's just not the same. Please be with mom,Eric and Rookie, I know they need you the most. But you can come visit me in my dreams whenever you want. I miss just seeing you. I haven't seen you in a couple of weeks. Well I love you Dawn and miss you VERY VERY much! I will come back and talk to you soon. Love Always,Missy

hello Starshine i love you. I finally saw the humming bird again. I feel like you were mad at me because you havent sent me any messages,or my little hummingbird etc.I went to write you before i went to bed last night and my password wouldnt even work, Ya i thought your mad. I thought it about it a lot and again i was being selfish and not accepting that you were better off. My counslor told me that there was nothing I could of done that this was the path that you chose.That just crushes me to know that because if only i could of done something, anything i sure would have.I kept talking to you trying to make you understand and you kept telling me exactly what i wanted to here.Boy isure did as a mother have my hopes up and then that frieghtful time would come again.OH DAWN i wish you would ofbeen at your house with Eric or here with mom I just know in my Heart things would of been different.Oh here i go being selfish again because now you are free no more anger, no more pain. ILOVE YOU MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER,I LOVE YOU
February 16, 2010

Well I figured it is finally time for me to pay you a visit and express myself. Honestly the whole situation is still so unreal to me. There are so many thoughts of "what if" "could have's" "should of's" etc... So many unanswered questions that we will not know the answers to until we meet again. It is so weird how ofter I have dreams with you in them. We are having a good time laughing and just playing around (its so weird) So I looked up the "meaning of dreams" and this is what I found..."To see your dead sibling,relative, or friend alive in your dream, indicates that you miss them and are trying to relive your old experiences you had with them. In trying to keep up with the pace of your daily waking life, your dreams may serve as your only outlet in coping and coming to terms with the loss of a loved one." Which to me makes a lot of sence. I feel I really have not come to terms with you being gone in my "real" life. It's like I don't want to think about it. And if I do I'm gonna just break down like Mom. And she needs everyone to be strong for her right now. I just wish things could have happened in such a different way. I know everyone has to go at some time in life. But when it is just thrown at people for some God aweful reason, there are so many unanswered questons that come along with it. I mean its not like you had some terminal illness. It's just as simple as one day you are here and the next day you are gone. Why? That is the question of life and death "why". Brett wrote a very nice poem in school about you. I will have to post it for everyone to read. Well I have said enough for now I am sure. I will come back some time soon and read mom's new entries (she seems to be in here a lot). And express myself again. I know why mom is here often, it helps her cope! I love you Dawn and really do miss you!

hello my #1precious daughter. Today is cloudy and supposed to rain. Its been some strange wheather since you have been in Heaven. Ben hung a hummingbird feeder out back and every now and then there you are remember you are my little hummingbird like grandma baby ricky and alissa are butterflys. You flew up to Heaven on the wings of an Angel.Mom misses you so much but now i know no more always getting hurt,falling and you know the rest.Thatelps me but i still miss you holding and giving me your sweet kisses. But i know that will happen again. I am going to take some grieving counsling, GOD knows i need that although I probably may never understand why you went away actually DAWN part of me does I wouldnt want you in pain aymore. I love you so much and we had such a love as mother and daughter that will never be broken ever. I love you so much baby LOVE MOM
