Dawn Marie yet another year has passed without you here. Your baby boy graduated this year, we were so pleased we got to see him in his cap and gown and take some pictures with him. I know you are so pleased the young men all 4 of you boys have become. It's a crazy year with the covid and having to wear masks and stay home. If you have any pull up there give us a little help so life goes back to normal. Your Dad and I miss you terribly and love you so much!

Dawn Marie 6 years have gone by and still waiting for you to come through the door with your big belch. Still missing you every day, went though all the cards we received from the funeral they were beautiful and caring from relatives and friends. Remembering all the good times. I feel so blessed to have been the one who was there when you came into this world and so blessed to have been by your side when you soul left this world. Love from your Dad and Mom

Dawn Marie, 5 years, people say it gets easier over time, not so true. We still miss you everyday. A couple of weeks ago heard from your boys, all in one week my heart felt so good, it was good to see and hear from them, it had been too long. Aunt Carmen asked last nite if we'll have a full moon tonite like the eve you left us. Dad is doing ok, seizures once a week, but still ok. Every morning I kiss your picture like I would if you had just come through the door. Missing your beautiful smile and laugh. Sending all the Love in us. Mom and Dad

Dawn Marie It's been 3 years today since you left us. We miss your beautiful smile and your strange sense of humor every day. Everyday when the door opens, we keep hoping it's all a bad dream and you would be standing there, but not to be, we know you are in Heaven with your Grandpas and Grandmas, cousins and aunt and uncle. Some day we will hug you again and say we love you Mom and Dad
