My sincere condolences to the family. The pain, the grief, and the feelings of helplessness can seem unbearable. At such times, we need to go to God’s Word for comfort. 2 Corinthians 13, 4 – Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, 4 who comfort us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.
You were MY PERSON. I will be lost without you for a while but I know the memory of your laugh and your light in my life will help guide me back to where I need to be. My sincerest condolences to Gloria and the rest of Dawn’s family. Love, Tonya, Joydyn & Emma Grace

My sincere condolences to the Bridges family. May your many fine memories of Patricia and loving words comfort family and friends during this difficult time and the days ahead (Isaiah 5715)
Dawn (sunshine), from day one we clicked and became friends. You made more of a difference in my life than you will ever know and I will never be able to thank you enough for the times I was down and you were always there, no matter the time of day it was. We made many memoires together in the little time I did know you. We laughed and cut up about everything, even when we had serious conversations we always seemed to throw a joke or something in the mix. I will forever miss your smile and wonderful personality. Rest easy my Sunshine, until we meet again.
