Dawson Merrick

Our family (with the exception of Hallie) attended Dawson's funeral services today.  Dawson lives just 3 houses down from us.  He recently turned 10 years old.  He passed away from a rare form of Leukemia. The services were very touching.  I am amazed at the community support and the support shown from Knoles Elementary school as well.  For months many families have pulled together in an effort to raise money for Dawson's medical expenses.  In addition many have been praying for Dawson and showing continuous support to the Merrick family.  There was a reception after the services at Knoles.  The donations made for that itself were unbelievable.  My heart was truly filled with gratitude for such good people and wonderful neighbors.
