Phil, I'm so sorry for the loss of your wife. June Bird informed me about it. I hope that your love for one another helps get you through this heartbreaking time. Thinking of you.
Phil, we are deeply sorry. We will all miss Dawn so much. She was such a fun, loving, passionate woman! Our condolences to you and the boys.
Through FFA and dairy goats I met this wonderful woman.

May the peace and love of God surround you and your family during this most difficult time.
There is not much I can say to comfort you that doesn't seem like a cliche. I will miss Dawn as will so many others.
If there is anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to call. If you have guests from out of state who need a bed I have two available and a fold-out in the front room.
My thoughts are with you and Dawn.
John
