So sad that we lost her to this horrid virus. So many good people taken.

It’s hit a lot of assisted living facilities. My wife’s aunt recently died of it and she (along with 10+ others) was infected with COVID. She died just days short of her 90th birthday... which would have been today.

Dawn was real class. I always admired all of that casts acting abilities but she was just so special. How tragic. Covid is working its way through the nursing homes here in NE Ohio in a terrible way. Ive read that so many have died and they really dont know what they died of.

I’m heart broken. She was my favorite castaway on the show. Seemed like such an approachable person when interviewed.
