"Dawn attended the line dance sessions at the Neighborhood Center on Broadway several years ago. We always enjoyed her good humor, her smiles, and her accent, although the accent wasn't a full-British one by the time we knew her. She was good at line dancing, too. Condolences to her family. We know you will miss her dearly."
In loving memory of
Dawn McLean
