Larry I’m so sorry to hear of Dawns passing. Dawn was an amazing lady. I worked with her in the lab and there was never a dull moment. She was so fun to be around.
My heart breaks for this families loss.
I will remember Dawn for being her own person, compassionate yet, down to earth and not putting up with any mess, from anyone. I am so happy she spent so much time with her children and grandchildren at the cabin. I’m sure there will be happy memories shared for years to come.
May you find peace in the shared memories.
Dawn Louise would hush me spouting off her middle name here, because for some reason she wasn’t real fond of it. Louise, you’ll need a long foot to reach from the heights of Heaven to render a swift kick.
There’s so much to applaud about Dawn, but so few words to capture the immensity of her love, acceptance, authenticity and humo, all she embodied.
The greater good is to remember and experience what we gleaned from her and how we felt in her presence than to wallow in the loss of her in the here and now.
Dawn was a ray of sunshine to so many. Easy to laugh and love, she will be missed. God Bless her
Her laughter, sense of humor,and caring spirit will be missed by all. Her passing has left a void in the hearts of all who loved her. Fly High Miss Wheezey. Till we meet again.
My Thoughts and Prayers go out to the family of Dawn. Heaven has gained another Angel! Prayers to all.
So sad to hear about Dawn’s passing — I was sure she was indestructible, and of course, she’s a great lady. I am so honored to have worked and had fun times with her and Larry over the years. Love and prayers for you all, especially during these hard times.
Dear Larry and Family,
We are very sorry to see that you have lost Dawn! May she rest in peace. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
We will miss her teasing and giving me a hard time!
Love,
Patty and Nate
