Vina; and her sisters: Cindy Bingeman, wife of Scott, and Deb Smith, wife of the late Jay.

We’re deeply sorry to learn of your loss. Dawn was a kind person who we had the privilege of knowing as a neighbor for the last several years. We frequently marveled at Dawn’s beautiful display of flowers and the care with which she gave to the landscape. It was evident that gardening was a true creative expression of herself. We’re praying for peace to be with you all in this season.
