Aurora Fading

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our dear friend, Dawn Martin. She left us several years ago, the news reaching us only recently. Dawn was a radiant presence in the lives of many, and her untimely departure leaves a void that cannot be filled.

Dawn and I were close friends during the early 2000s, sharing phone calls and heartfelt letters in an era before cell phones and social media. She had an extraordinary way of bringing joy and comfort to those around her. I remember the book of poetry she sent me, a testament to her creativity and passion for the written word.

As the years passed, we lost touch, and although I regret not reaching out sooner, I take solace in the memories we created together. Dawn was a beacon of light, caring deeply for every soul she encountered. Her cheerful disposition and caring nature touched the hearts of all who knew her.

From her roots in Michigan to her college days at Sweet Briar, to her successful career as a Toxicologist at Broward County Medical Examiner in Florida, Dawn’s journey through life was one of growth and adventure. Her travels took her to many places, and I have no doubt that she left a lasting impression on all she met.

Dawn, my dear Aurora, I wish I had expressed my appreciation for your presence in my life sooner. You helped me through challenging times, offering a shoulder to lean on and words of comfort that I will forever hold dear. Even when distance separated us, your impact remained etched in my heart.

I find myself burdened with regret, wishing I had done more to reach out and support you. It pains me to think that you felt alone and burdened by the world’s cruelty. You deserved happiness, love, and understanding, and I am sorry that we couldn’t be there to provide it.

As we say our final goodbyes, know that your memory will live on in the hearts of those you touched. Your kindness and compassion continue to inspire us, and we will cherish the memories we shared forever.

Rest in peace, dear friend. You are deeply loved and profoundly missed.

With love and sorrow,
