We miss and love you Dawn. Praying for all of the family and close friends! She will be eternally missed. Its hard to believe she is really gone.
Dawn was a sweet loving bright light in our life. Her and my son Jaxson were really close. Then along came baby Charlie and she just adored them both just as much as they loved her. I adored the relationship my children had with her. She was always so loving to them as if they were her own. Jaxson loved to be in Dawns kitchen just spending time with her…just him and her, was really special to him. We have a collection of stuffed animals that Jaxson received from Dawn through the years which now take up his whole bed. They are really special to him & each one represents all the times she was thinking of him. Her heart was so beautiful. I miss walking into day care in the morning and seeing her sweet smile & warm welcomes. She made a huge imprint on my life and Im greatful for the love she filled my children with. She. She is greatly missed! My prayers are with you all and may her sweet soul rest in complete peace.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
