You will be so missed Dawn. Words can't express how I feel for Craig and all the kids, grandkids, and great grandbaby. You were such a tremendous personality and so full of love and laughter. Spending time with you was always full of laughs and fun. I will miss having you give me a hard time and me giving it back in return. I will miss our casino jaunts and just hanging out in your kitchen. I laugh just thinking about so much of it. You lived a beautiful, full life and will be missed beyond words by so man. Thank you for being you and for always bringing something fun and interesting to the table. I love you sweet, funny, feisty, sassy sister-in-law xoxox
