We are so saddenned at Dawns Passing. Having been very dear friends for over 30 years She had brought us much laughter and joy. She was a caring person, although I lived in NJ for many years we were close friends. I looked forward to weekends to see her . My Family was honored to have her in our life. When I moved here our friendship grew closer and I was honored to be with her at the end. I know she and Les are at their fishing spot laughing and watching over those they loved.
Prayers to all of the family
