I recently learned of Dawn’s passing and was very saddened to hear that this lovely lady is gone from us so soon. She cared for both of parents weekly until this past year and her sweet patient, , kind attention to them was a great comfort and blessing to our family. Dawn spoke with such joy about her granddaughter….we are glad for her chance to experience that grandmother’s love. We will always remember Dawn fondly and with gratitude.
