I will miss my mother in law dawn garofalo even tho I’m no loner married to her son she has alway treated me as her daughter in law she was such a kind woman and beautiful heart when ever I came to California to visit my sister I always went and spent time at that kitchen table we all loved sitting at Reminiscing she will be missed very much. Good bless💕💕💕
When I first started my career in sales in 1983 at McMahon Group I was living in NYC and my territory was California! It was so great to be able spend time on the west coast and spend time with my wonderful Aunt Dawn. I remember sitting at her kitchen table having iced tea and her delicious salads with all kinds of cheese and chopped meats! Dawn was always listening to my tales! I also loved getting to spend time with Teri and Frankie's children - especially Lisa. The most lovely young girl and beautiful smile. Over the years if I needed someone to talk to late at night in NYC I always knew I could call my Aunt Dawn - 3 hours earlier Pacific Coast time. She truly was a great confident and friend to me. Love you always, Lauren McMahon Smith
Ray and I have wonderful memories of our trips out your way and wonderful lunches with your sweet mother and the rest of her family. Ray and Lauren will be out for the funeral and look forward to having time to spend together. Love to you all. Rosanne
Dawn rest in peace now, you are home with your husband in God’s Kingdom. God bless your soul. I will miss you every Sunday to give your communion.
To my grandma you are the greatest women I’ve ever known the world really was a better place because you were in it
My love for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches came from the many sandwiches I ate at your kitchen table I can’t eat pancakes without peanut butter because you always made the best peanut butter pancakes I love pepper Jack cheese because you always had it in the fridge for sandwiches now my own daughter has to have peper Jack cheese on her sandwiches I dislike buying food at theme parks because you always packed a cooler full of lunch to any theme park you ever took me to I will truly miss sitting at your kitchen table chatting with you and just making memories with you I will miss your sweet voice saying “love you much” I will forever be grateful for our FaceTime calls and all yours chats with my Willy girl I have to keep telling myself 90 years is a long life to live you showed us so much and we are all so grateful for your love and guidance you are truly missed and loved by everyone who’s ever met you I’m selfish and I want you back here on this earth with us but since that is not possible I’ll forever keep you in my heart
