Dawn was my cousin and when we were young our families would get together for dinners at Thanksgiving etc. As we got older our visits were fewer, but we always had parties when our parents had milestones for Birthdays and Anniversaries. I let my siblings know and they expressed their condolences. Take care Caitie and family and Dear Er!
