Love has no boundaries**#

We all can remember that beautiful smile, the beautiful voice when she sang and her love for God and how much of a prayer warrior she was.  But what few know about Dawn is the sacrifices she made in life, the hardships she endured and the hurt she seemed to acquire. Though it all, Dawn never gave up hope...never gave up her beliefs or her passion to see others saved.  Dawn and I had a really rocky relationship that went from one measure to another, and myself had caused her a lot of hurt and pain in a period of time where I was hurting myself.  After years of not communicating we finally got together and made amends.  She forgave me for the hurt I caused her and we started back on that trend of communicating again.  We talked and shared so many things in the months before her passing, and I even shared the last Thanksgiving She had at her home with her family.  Dawn had a big heart, and to this day I will never forget that no matter what happened between us in that period of time, she prayed for me ....and I know and believe in my heart that if it wasn't for her prayers that I wouldn't be where I am today.  No I may not be in a church building every Sunday, but my heart still belongs to God, and one day I know her prayers will be answered in his timing.  I miss our texts we did every week and our talks we had nights on the phone.  Dawn will always be remembered in my heart as the one who never gave up on me.  Fly Angel Fly....

Aunt Dawnie

March 26, 2014
My aunt was the most caring and loving person I have ever met. Everytime we would come over to her place we were greeted with a big smile and her best bear hugs. I loved to watch her and listen to her sing. I remember the day she was getting married. She looked gorgeous. She was so happy. She told me not to go into labor with my daughter. She told me I needed to hold off. It was so funny. All the memories I have of her I would not trade for anything. I miss her everyday. I wish she could still be here with her whole family. We love u and miss u so much Aunt Dawnie. Addie asks about you all the time. I just tell her to think back on the memories you do have of her.

This was taken by me, about a month before she died. I had left the house after fighting with her husband. I had gone to a hotel and was sittin in the lobby texting a guy I'd been dating. Mom kept texting me and tellin me how much she loved me and that she wanted me to come home. I had her come pick me up. I put her through so much hell, and she only loved me harder. She was the most amazing woman I have ever known. Strong, wise, gentle, kind, loving. Everything I wish to be.

Dawn was my aunt.  I remember a story she used to tell me.  She was watching me when I was younger and had this shoe that you rode in.  I wouldnt listen so she threw it.  She felt bad after.  The one thing I remember about her is that she was there when I needed someone to talk to.  I remember when I was getting married.  I knew that I wanted all my family there that could be there.  I also knew that mom and her were not getting along.  I made one request of Dawn.  If she could not put aside her differences with my mom then it would be best if she didnt come.  I hated saying this but I wanted to make sure that there was no fights.  I was so happy the day I got married.  She had someone from church make a special boquet to sit where my dad would have.  I was surprised to have that.  I knew nothing about it.  It was a great gift.  She also helped me when my dad passed away.  See I couldnt get over the fact that he was gone.  I was so depressed and upset.  It took me a long time to come to terms with it all.  About two years after, she told me that I needed to deal with it.  I needed to because of my son.  She told me that I needed to go visit the grave and do what I needed.  She was the only one to know what I did when I went there.  I yelled at my dad.  I did what she told me to do to get over what happened.  I remember the morning I got the call that she was gone.  I cried.  I also said that her journey is over and she has her reward.  I still miss her today.  My kids miss their Aunt Dawnie.  Lol.  That name has been in use for a long time.  I used it along with all my cousins.  Then our kids started using it.  I will never forget her.  Though we didnt always see eye to eye, she was there for me.
