"She was a good friend. I met Dawn back in the early 80s while I was running around with some musicians from the Durant area. Met many good people from the area but as the years passed I lost contact with them. Dawn was a very caring lady and mother. I hope this is the right person. She had a young son when I met her. She used to say he had "Popeye" arms because they looked like his. She was a good person with a wonderful sense of humor. Though she passed many yrs ago I still offer my condolences. Hoping this late note helps with your loss. She passed as a believer and is in Heaven where she is safe from all harm. God bless. Randy"
In loving memory of
Dawn D. Dittmer
