I went to school with Dawn at Rosemont Elementary. I was the captain of the cheerleading squad. Dawn and I had many wonderful times together as kids and she will be missed. God Bless!

In Memory of Dawn Marie Sansone



We’ll Never Forget

Your presence was a gift to the world,

You were unique and one of a kind.

Your life was what you wanted it to be -

Taking it one day at a time.



You counted your blessings, not your troubles,

And you made it through what came along.

Within you were so many answers,

Understanding, courage and so very strong.



No limits did you put on yourself,

Your dreams you did realize.

Nor did you leave important decisions to chance -

You reached for your peak, your goal, and

your prize.



You didn’t spend time or energy on worrying -

For you knew the longer a problem was carried,

the heavier it would get.

Nor did you take things too seriously -

Rather you lived a life of serenity,

not a life of regrets.



You always said that a little love goes a long way -

Remembering that a lot goes forever.

Remembering too that friendship is a wise investment,

Life's treasures are people and love together.



Now may love, forever happiness and peace be yours in this we

wish for you from our hearts,

As the love and memories we carry of you,

will help us to get through for our love will not part.



We will never forget you Dawn not even for a day...

How truly special you were in oh so may ways.
