    Sadness does not come close to describing my feelings as I read the obituary of my cousin, Dawn. We were starting to reconnect as adults, and this is such a loss for our entire family. I have so many special memories of our times together as kids! 💔💔💔

    Dear John, Evan, Ben and family, I am heartbroken over the loss of my beloved friend Dawn. I know this is really a tough time for you all. I did promise I would be there for her boys. It’s truly all she ever asked for is to look out for her boys. She was an amazing mother, wife ,sister , and friend . She was just a truly amazing person. I know she put up a tough fight. Rest in peace Dawn I love you more than words can say.
