I’m so sad to hear of Dawn’s passing . She was one of the first people who befriended me upon our move to that area. Although we did not have time to become closer since our move there was short ,  I will always remember her kindness. One week She randomly left me flowers on my doorstep with a card because I had been having a rough week , she’d invite me over for visits , and helped me out wherever and whenever she could. Dawn was one of the kindest people I knew.  

I met Dawn in 2012 when i started babysitting her twins. We became good friends and stayed friends after the kids started school. I’ll miss our long phone conversations and our dinners together with the kids. I’m heartbroken 💔 

Dawn lived next door to me in Orange Park until I moved in Oct. 2020. She was without a doubt one of the best examples of a good friend and a wonderful mother. My heart hurts for the children- they certainly brightened the days for a lot of us. I know she is in Heaven but those of us left behind will hurt for a long time. 

I was so sad to hear this news. I was good friends with Dawn in High School. She was a loyal friend - always there for me, always with an ear to listen, or a FRIENDS reference to make. The things we would crack up about - I can't even remember - but there was much, much laughter over the years. After those four years, we went our separate ways to start our lives but I'll always look back on that time fondly. Much love to her family and her children as they overcome this unexpected grief. 

PS - I'm sure she would hate this photo, but it's the only one I could find of us! :)

My dearest Dawn, 
There is a piece of my heart that will always be yours. I miss you so bad it hurts and I don’t think it will ever get easier. You were so funny, your sarcasm and humor could always brighten my day. I thought we had so much more time, I thought we would hold each other’s hands during our kids  teenage years and share in their accomplishments. I promise I will do everything I can to keep your memory alive and to carry on doing all of those wonderful little things you did like making sure every kid was included and never left out. You made every one around you feel important. “It’s been a long day without you my friend, I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again.” 

Hello, my daughter Kim and Dawn hung around up in the Poconos. They were good friends. When Dawn got married and had Dominick and the twins, I worked at rite aid in the poconos and Dawn would always bring her twins in to see me. I was so happy. I wish the best of luck for Dawns children. I know she was a good mom, she had pictures in Facebook about her painting the inside of her house. I would always comment.  I am glad that her dad made it to Florida.  Sincerely, Barbara Ehlmann.

I remember her when she was young and lived in pa. How she loved her big sister. May God watch over her and she rest in peace .


To Cheryl, and family,
We all have a long history.  We've been family and always friends. I Iove you all. I have so many fond memories of Dawn. So much laughing.  Holidays and just being together as family .
Dawn and I had so much fun at church,  day trips...  just everything we did, there was always lots of laughter.  
Have peace knowing she is in a great place now and I'll  bet your Mom was the angel that carried Dawn  to heaven. I will always love you.
Laura

I loved Dawn.  The impact she had on my heart will last the rest of my life.  She was such a good mom to three of the sweetest kids I have ever hugged.  I will not forget the laughter as we painted the inside of my home with the biggest ladder that I have ever seen in a house.  Loved helping her move into her new home that she bought on her own.  She was so proud and I was proud of her.  Praying that God gives her sweet kids peace as they go through this time.
