Kiefer Aunt Lynn and Uncle John,
I am sorry to hear about the passing of Dawn. It would have been nice to live closer and be able to get to know her better. She was nothing but smiles and love from the few interactions I had the privilege to be apart of. I wish I could have known her as I became an adult.
Sending love,
Kiefer and Stephanie

My heart breaks at the passing of our Auntie Dawn. Although we lived so far away, she always made an effort to never forget every birthday, Christmas or major life event. The love she brought to her friends and family, whether it was weekly get together’s or just a simple phone call to catch up was so special.
I was so excited to share our next big life event with her for our wedding in Sept 2019, and I know her spirit will continue be there loving and supporting us all the way.
I will miss her dearly.
Sending lots of love and hugs to all our family out West,
Marissa and Steven
