Dawn will forever be missed and in our hearts. She had the most infectious smile and anyone who walked across her path came to know her big heart and spirit. We know she is at peace now; running around, riding her bike, lathering herself up in baby oil and getting her tan on, with a side of her favorite gummy bears. God has gained a beautiful angel.
