In memory of my daughter, Dawn

When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me, and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart. For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost. ~Frederick Buechner

From a very young age, Dawn loved and respected all animals, and they loved her. Dawn lost her life on August 13, 1997 as a result of a car accident. She is lovingly remembered for her kindness to animals and for teaching people all over the world that extinction is forever, and that our wild animals must be protected.

This page is dedicated to my daughter, Dawn,
who left this world on August 13, 1997.
Her kindness to animals and her zest for life
will be a lasting legacy to those who knew and loved her.
For 29 years, God gave me a gift more precious than gold,
the gift of Dawn.
May God keep you safe until we meet again.

Love, Mom.

Kiss your children every day and tell them you love them. Today is gone, and tomorrow may never come. When you lose your parents, you lose your past; When you lose your spouse, you lose your present: When you lose a child, you lose your future. Kiss your children every day - today is gone, and tomorrow may never come.
