Dear Richard,

So sorry for your loss. You and your family have my deepest sympathy. Dawn fought long and hard and was an inspiration to others dealing with this disease. Although loss is always hard, take some comfort in knowing that she is no longer suffering or in pain. Keep her with you forever in you heart and memories of the good times.

Hugs,
Darla

Dear Evan, I am so sorry to read about your Dearest Dawn and please accept my humble condolences. We have been together a long time as you joined this site just 10 days after I did. Dawn was a true warrior and fought with dignity and grace. Below is a poem she may have meant for you:

If I should be the first to go,
And leave you alone, my Dear,
Let not your heart be lonely,
Nor in your eyes a tear.
Grieve not for me, my Darling,
I’ll not be far away,
With petals of love and tenderness,
I’ll pave for you the way.
To join me in our sanctuary,
And ne’er again we’ll part.
Grieve not for me, my Darling,
I live within your heart.
Take joy again in living,
As you did in years gone by;
God knows what of he’s doing,
And not be questioned why.
Grieve not for me, my Darling,
My life with you on earth
Each moment filled with happiness,
And love so few be worth.
I’ll be waiting for you Sweetheart
Where skys are ever blue,
With eager heart and open arms
Patiently, for you.
Grieve not for me, my Darling,
May faith and my love keep.
