I remember walking down an isle at the grocery store with her and her slip under her dress fell. She just stepped out of it and picked it up and we both laughed. At another time we were on a bus drive to get home from a cruise and we fell asleep on each other's shoulders. There is a picture of that somewhere.
I am so sorry for your loss Pat. I just learned of this today and I cannot imagine your pain. Dawn was a very bright light in sometimes a very dismal world. She cared for my children as if they were her own. When I could not get through to my daughter, she was always there and came running. I will miss her beyond words. There are not many in life who leave a permanent imprint on our hearts…she was one of the very few. You will be and remain in my prayers.
Our deepest condolences. Dawn was so special - warm and funny, generous of spirit. a beautiful soul. I'm so glad, Pat, that you two were able take that romantic trip to Martha's vineyard last fall. She sparkled when she spoke of it. I hope time will bring you and your girls some peace.

Dearest Pat, Arielle and Madison, I am truly blessed to have known Dawn. She was the sweet wonderful women who for all to short a time helped me care for my home. I have included a pic of all the wonderful products she taught me to use. Also the last Christmas gift. A beautiful candle she made for me. We became close friends and I always looked forward to seeing her. She always had a smile and positive attitude no matter what she was facing. She could have been in and out of my home much faster if we didn’t spend so much time talking. She also gave me lots of advice to pass onto my daughter who also helps people care for their homes. I’m so happy she got to take that wonderful trip to Martha’s Vineyard las fall. She remains in my heart ♥️ and her whole family in my prayers for God’s strength and peace as you go through this grieving period. She will be deeply missed.
Dear Family,
My sister Dawn was a very special person, Dawn always tried to make every situation better for everyone she was around. I have many great memories of her and I growing up together. I never imagined ever living without her in my life and I deeply miss her everyday. She was always the Rock in my life and was always there for me and I for her. There is a tremendous hole in my heart that will never be whole until I see her again. My heart also is deeply sad for my Parents and especially for Pat, Madison and Arielle who have experienced this tremendous loss. Even though this was the most difficult situation I've ever had to go through I was grateful I was able to be with my sister and my family during this time. I would like to express my appreciation for everyone's kind words and love.
Love Your Brother,
Randy

Pat, Arielle and Madison:
I only knew Dawn through her work with Thaddeus but I am so very sorry. I have thought about Dawn often since I moved away and will always remember her kindness to both adults and all the children who she encountered. Dawn always had a smile in her eyes and on her lips despite some challenging years. Over the years she spoke often of all three of you and I could tell how much she cherished each of you. I hope you will always be able to remember how Dawn made you feel and I hope that brings you some comfort.
