I love you both so very much...love ya Sis

Dawn was like my second mother as she said. I would spend almost every weekend growing up there with her and Paige and Peyton. We would always do fun things. She was the "young" "cool" aunt as she said. I love her more than anything. She could make anyone feel like they were special and we all were to her. She loved her nieces and nephews like we were her own kids. She would love to throw parties for us all. Now we all have to get our act together to do that. We would ride four wheelers at her house and build forts and have great times. She would always give us life stories of hers and we used to call it lecture now I see it as a lesson I still remember. She would give us good advice and she would treat all the kids like she was out mother. I remember when I wrecked the four wheeler she freaked out for a few minutes and then was laughing along with me while everyone else was still panicing. I remember going to the 2012 Halsey family ruinion and us getting lost. She made a trip of it we told jokes and stories and laughed the whole time I even learned a few things. She really was like my second mother she had also said it but it never got tome till now. I love her so much and I always will <3
