Hi name kilisha Bonner
I knew Mrs Dawn in very special way. She took care of my children for very long and time. She love my children to death. She have special place in heart for ever.
We are so heart broken to learn of Dawn's passing. Her presence is missed and will be for a long time to come.
The young boy she cared for will miss sitting with her on the couch watching movies, story time and back rubs. I miss coming to relieve her and just talking and laughing together, already.
We have lost a family member. I only hope she knew how much we loved her.
RIP dear friend.
Til we meet again.
