So sad to hear. I worked with Dawn at Mill Road Elementary, she was the sweetest person. We will all miss her so much. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I’m just so saddened by this. I considered Dawn a great friend. We worked together at East High Elementary School. She was a truly great lady! Love and prayers to her family and friends, Amy Sands
