Beautiful soul
My beautiful and loving US mom. I was once un exchange student in the US coming from Tunisia (North Africa). I spent one year with the Kessler family as their host daughter in 2006/2007. I had one of the best life experinces with all the family. I will never forget the beautiful moments we spent together. Since I left the US me and Dawn stayed in touch and have been exchanging messages all the time. She has always been there for me sending loving and encouraging messages and telling me about what was going on in her life. We always wanted to meet again. But even though we where geographically away we still stayed so close. I will miss her so so much a beautiful person inside out who left a beautiful impact on me. Now I am remembering all the beautiful memories we had together and that I will always cherish. Love you Dawn ❤️
