Dawn worked for Salt Lake City Reclamation and Larry H Miller. Dawn loved springs flowers, it was the hope of new beginnings, and part of the beauty God gives us to enjoy. Please share one with her or plant one in her memory.
She gave everything she had to her children, asking for nothing in return, horses, motorcycles, lessons she would go without to allow them to experience what they wanted.
