    I’m not sure if I’m too late to post but I got to thinking of Dawn today and thought I’d google her name and came across this. I’m sorry to here she has passed away. I worked with Dawn when I was in college in Hutchison. She taught me so many beauty things about life. I will miss her sweet smile and jokes!! Great memories.
