Dawn was one of the most beautiful, sweetest, and full of life people I have ever had the pleasure to know. She will be greatly missed and I am so sorry for the family. God bless you all and I hope you find comfort in him.

Dawn was perhaps the greatest woman I have ever met. She was like a second mom to me. Like Horus, I met her through art a year ago. She won't ever be forgotten... Rest in peace

i met Dawn thru art. she was an amazing person. my heart is heavy over this loss. 
my respects to the family.

Dawn was a soul I felt so connected with. She always had a smile on her face and a hug to give. I felt at home around her, from playing softball together and her amazing swing to hanging at her house eating her delicious jalapeño poppers, she was always someone I wanted to be around. She loved me so much and I her, although I deeply regret not expressing it more. We connected over our tattoos and piercings and she always made me feel happy to be me, made me feel like I was so special in so many ways. I'll miss her more than I can express but heaven definitely got one amazing angel. I am sending all my love to her friends and especially her family, Jeff you were always so sweet to me as well and I wish I was there to celebrate her life. I love you Dawn, and I'll always treasure the fact that we had basically the same middle name, unique and beautiful like you. All my love, Tiahna Eleanor Williams

Dawn - where do I begin? she always made you laugh and she always made you feel welcome and loved. She adored my daughter and made her feel so special everytime she saw her. She loved her grand babies beyond words, she was so proud of both of her children. Most of all, SHE LOVED her husband. when we went to their anniversary party that her children planned, the love between Jeff and her was so beautiful, so rare. Voted ""most likely not to succeed "" when they got married, they showed us all up. Jeff wrote the most beautiful letter to her, it made all of the men present look bad!
Dawn loved a good time, she loved the wonderful simple things in life, she loved camping , friendships and family. 
She will be missed. She added an element to your life that was remarkable. I for one took it for granted and for that I am so so sorry and realize I missed so much that she could have taught me. 
To Dawns family: I am so sorry seems so small and meaningless. however I AM SO SORRY! much love denita
