Gary, I'm so sorry for your loss. My husband Merle and Gary were friends in school and Merle was honored to be in Gary's wedding. I have the photo of Merle and I taken on the day of Gary and Dawn's wedding on my wall. We were just kids back then. Merle is there in heaven to greet Dawn. It's almost been three years since I lost the love of my life. My heart hurts in your loss.
Dawn was what I would call a 'grand lady' and a good friend. She was so intelligent and creative! Conversations with her were always thought-provoking and often a bit mind-bending. I was so honored when she and Gary asked me to sing for their wedding...my first as a soloist! I will miss her. Deepest condolences to her family.
