Dawn Renee West

Our hearts and prayers are with the West family. There will be a short memorial service for Dawn this Saturday at 10:00am at the church followed by a private family graveside service. Please respect the family and keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Jennifer Theetge is collecting photos and written memories of Dawn to compile into a remembrance book for the children. If anyone has any photos or other things to include please give them to Jennifer. If everyone could write down their memories of Dawn so the children can remember her life and what kind of person she was, I know they will treasure that.
