Kayce. I am so sorry to hear about your mom. We had a lot of good times together. I will miss her.
Dear Stan, Kayce and Matthew:
Ken and I send our most heartfelt condolences to you for the loss of Dawn. I was really hoping and praying that she was making progress. I will never forget Kayce and you knocking on my front door in Hermon, Maine. It was nice to meet Dawn then and Kayce. That is a memory I will treasure. I wish we could attend her service, but we are at MD Anderson. Please know we’re thinking of you and your loved ones. I prayed for Dawn every night since I last saw you. Now I’m praying for healing for Dawns loved ones.
Ken and Joy Gustin
