"Dawn and family... I am so sorry for this loss. Words will never express the sadness I feel for all of you. He fought the good fight and I know he would have stayed with all of you if he could have....but God had other plans for him. Know, however, that he is watching over you and helping you cope as we all will. God bless and keep you all in his loving arms and give you the peace you deserve."
