Lorraine Keane wrote a sympathy message

“Dawn, I was so saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. I feel truly grateful that through reconnecting with you, I had the chance to get to know her and spend time with her at the beach. She always had such a warm smile and a special way of making everyone feel welcome and like part of the family. I will always remember her kindness and those beach days with great fondness. My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. She will be deeply missed. —Lorraine”
