I can't say enough about my friend Dawn. I have so many wonderful memories with her. We are both members of Delta Zeta sorority at Slippery Rock University. Sorority is very special to both us. Even as alumni, we still embrace friendship, leadership, and the moral code that was instilled in us.

Dawn has always been there for me...through the rough times and fun times. She has always known I would find "love" again. She has been so supportive of Dave and I. And, she is genuinely happy for us!

I look up to Dawn not only as a friend....but as a strong mother, a mentor, a trustworthy friend and lifelong sister!

If I had to say one word to describe Rachel it would be "saint." She helped me through the most difficult time in my life. Like a saint, she held my hand, hugged me tight, and constantly reminded me that "everything happens for a reason."

We are two peas in a pod! She is the "ying" to my "yang." She and her family took me in like I was one of their own. I have such fond memories of the gooofy, silly, and comical things we did together.  Even though she lives far away now and I miss her every day...she is still my close friend and someone who knows me inside and out!
