Dawn was one of my patients for years. I will always remember her since of humor. My fondest memory of Dawn was one day she came to the office and she sat beside a lady that had a pin with a bird in a nest on her shoulder and from that day forward we laughed about having a bird on our shoulder. If I had to send her mail I always drew a bird. She was a faithful servant of Christ. I am praying for you family. Judy at Dr. Lurie´s office.
