Dawn, it has been a joy to know you and experience your humor, wit and wisdom. Thank you for being you and thank you for touching so many lives. I wish comfort to you and your family.

Thanks for including your friends on your journey. We celebrate our times with each other. John and I are recalling your 80th birthday celebration and what fun we all had. Lots of fun times and thoughtful times to think about. Love back to you.

I will always be grateful for the time I have known you. You taught me a lot during our time together on the Search Committee, and the way you approach life has given me the opportunity to reconsider the way I approach both people and life in general. I've always felt cared for by you and felt that I could trust you which has meant the world to me. Thank you for your friendship. I love you, though I doubt I ever told you as much. May this time be filled with love.
