Dawn was a special lady. She and I bird watched together including a week-long birding identification class in Tennessee. I used to visit her when I worked on Brambleton Avenue and she was always a gracious host. She had fun stories including knowing Dave Matthews before he made it big. I'll miss her.

I have good memories of spending time with Dawn. We took a road trip together and had a great visit with her sister, Ann. During that 4 days, I was surrounded by 86 year old women, and I was amazed at their energy and good fun! It is a delightful memory. And, most importantly, Dawn instilled in me to - use a plate!, and I no longer have a muffin with a napkin. I am always using a plate and smiling at Dawn. Big hug and love, Teri Gautier
