Ms. Dawn was a regular customer at my job and over the years I became very close to her. Learning of her death has me shaken to the core. I had just spoken to her hours before. She was an amazing, sweet women who will be greatly missed by all. Condolences to her family in this most dificult of times.
My sincere condolences for the loss a Dawn. As I know she suffered from a medical condition that limited her time here on earth, I am so deeply saddened of passing in such circumstances and just simply too soon. My co-workers and I absolutely adored her and her kitty, Gypsy, who is now in our loving care. May her family and friends be comforted during this extremely difficult time.
My love and prayers,
Rebecca
Prayers for the families and the other driver…sad when things like this happen
