    Al and Family: I was so saddened to read of Dawn’s passing. Love the picture of her – always smiling and happy. Anytime we ran into each other it was always a big smile and hug, and then – she always asked me – How is Gerry doing? Such a wonderful caring person. My heart goes out to all of you. I hope that someday your tears of sadness will turn to smiles as you remember all the good times you had together.
    Sending you all sympathy, love, hugs, and prayers. Cheryl (McLafferty) Miller
