May 13, 2019 at 6:54 pmI worked with Dawson at Gosnold Apartments in Norfolk. He was friendly and respectful always “Yes ma’am and No ma’am”.
He was a hardworking young man. He will be greatly missed.

May 17, 2019 at 2:19 pmThose special memories of you will always bring a smile if only I could have you back for just a while. Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do. You always meant so very much to me and always will do too. The fact that you’re no longer here, will always cause me pain but you’re forever in my heart until we meet again. Much love…………………

May 26, 2019 at 6:51 amI am truly sorry for your loss, what really comforted me in my time of loss is the scripture@ Revelation 21:3&4 . Which gives us the wonderful promise of God wiping out every tear from our eyes and death being no more. I hope this promise from Jehovah will truly bring your family much comfort at this time.
