Bob and Dawn's father were just leaving to go to the hospital. Sally was up all night (I know I was emailing with her at 3 a.m.). Bob was apparently at the hospital till the wee hours.

I will of course update you all the minute I hear any news. Continue the good thoughts and prayers.

Nothing but prayers for Dawn and family.

Cheryl, thank you so much for keeping us updated on Dawn. And you too, Melody.

I am just heartbroken over this last bit of news. All I want is for Dawn to pull through this. My continued thoughts and prayers go out for her and her family.

And actually, I'm sending pixie dust too because I haven't done that yet and maybe it will be the tipping point for good news from here on out.

When are we getting the names/addresses for the Christmas cards? I cannot for the life of me remember..... Soon though, I hope. It's just over a month until Christmas now! I do have my cards now though

When I sent my info to Cristabel yesterday she said she'd be sending the list out this Friday.

continued prayers for Dawn, Bob and Sally, as well as all their very worried family & friends! And sprinkles of healthy pixie dust too! Good thinking Cristabel

I'm still saying prayers for Dawn and her family. This is making me so sad.

Hi everyone.

I saw the latest news on Dawn. Not what we wanted to hear.

Tina, have fun at your BIL's party. Special time with family and friends is not to be taken for granted right now. Enjoy it, treasure it.


Cristabel, thanks for taking care of the card sign-ups.

Cheryl, Donna is right. Take care of yourself too. We've appreciated your time and updates, but all this worry and lack of sleep is not good for you either my friend. You need your strength right now. Mentally and physically.

[Stacerita]

Just checking in.

Sorry to hear Dawn isn't doing better. Thanks for keeping us updated Cheryl. I am praying for a full recovery and am looking forward to seeing her on the ladies trip.

Hi ladies. This is not a message I wanted to post. I just got this from her friend Paula.



I am sending this email with thank you for all your prayers and thoughts for Dawn, this made such a difference to her. I am writing to you from the family to let you know that we lost our precious wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend about 2 hours ago. She had a very bad night and her body got too weak and could not take any more. With the options that Bob and the family had, this was a better alternative because we all know Dawn did not want to live by a machine. The family is together and will be making arrangements and we will send those details out as soon as we have them. Thank you for all your support and love and prayers, please keep them coming as the next few days will be very hard for them.

OMG I have been so afraid to read this. I am sick right now! Please let me know as soon as you know what "we" are going to do. I know this just happened but I would like to go in on a floral arrangement or whatever. I am just in shock right now!

[disney-super-mom]

I am overcome with grief for losing such a special and giving person from this world. My thoughts and prayers go out for her family and friends (of which I know she had many).

I will miss her terribly, as I know all of us will.

[mommaU4]

OMG, I cannot believe this. I just can't. My heart is racing and my hands are shaking so badly I can barely type. I just.. I can't even think. I don't know what to say.

[CoMickey]

Oh no! I have been so afraid of reading this post but hoping with all of my heart that it would never be posted. I am so sad for her family, for Cheryl, for all of us who lost such a precious person. I am thankful that I did get to meet and spend sometime with Dawn twice.

I had just put on the bracelet that she had given us before I read this.

Hugs to us all!

[PrincessDuck]

Oh no! I have not had the pleasure of meeting anyone on this thread yet, but feel this deeply. I am so sorry for her family and for the ladies on here that knew her well. My thoughts and prayers are with you....

Cheryl, is there anymore word on what happened? Did she crash again? Was she taken off the breathing machine? I'm sorry. I know you are grieving right now, it's just confusing to me.
She was just posting a few days ago. I can't get my head around how this could happen so fast. I just can't believe it.
