My deep sympathy to the family of Dawn, and to her larger family at Jesus People USA Covenant Church. She touched many lives with her deep faith and abundant love, including my own life through my many contacts with Jesus People! Peace to her memory, and hope through the Resurrection of Jesus Christ!
