    Daddy, I miss you. There are so many things that I want to tell you about and I need your Godly advice. How I wish I could climb in the bed, get right up under you, put my head on your chest, and just listen to you breathe and that strong heart of yours beating. I know that you are doing just fine with our Heavenly Father. One day I will be with you and the Lord. Until then, I’ll be obedient and allow the Lord to direct my path. I love you daddy.

    THE SERENITY PRAYER
    God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
    Courage to change the things I can;
    And wisdom to know the difference.
    Living one day at a time;
    Enjoying one moment at a time;
    Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace, taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it, Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. AMEN.
    We love and pray for the family.

  36. Al-Nisa Bailey & The Ellison Family says:

    With your voice and smile in mind, I recall your teachings about finances, building websites and furthering the Kingdom. What a faithful husband, father, friend and servant of God. Thank you for revealing to a young me that God has a sense of humor; that Christians can have fun and be saved at the same time. Thank you for teaching me how to tithe properly. And thank you and Ms Janice for parenting me when I was so far away from home; you covered me as I discovered who I am in Christ. I’m sure your smile is lighting up Heaven. What a joy it must be to walk into the welcoming arms of Jesus; the one you’ve bragged to the whole world about. Heaven will never be the same – nor will we, because of the life of Douglas Dawson.
    My prayers are with the Dawson Family. As you grieve, please know that so many people have come to Christ because of your family. You are currently walking in your purpose and living out a rich legacy. And even now, in the midst of your sorrow, you are witnessing to others.

    I am sorry for your loss. Doug was one of the kindest, nicest, giving, always smiling, and never failing to say “hello” kind of person I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. He will forever leave an impression in my life and greatly be missed. May The Lord be with his family during this difficult time.

    THE SERENITY PRAYER
    God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
    Courage to change the things I can;
    And wisdom to know the difference.
    Living one day at a time;
    Enjoying one moment at a time;
    Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace, taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it, Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. AMEN.
    We love and pray for the family.
    Diane, Uncle Ed and Family

    Doug was my Mentor and my friend. He taught me to use my Faith to positively affect my job, my store, and my fellow associates. I’ve kept his Safety Team picture and his badge in my locker since his retirement. I only wish I could have said goodbye and told him what a massive impact he had on my life. I’ll see you in Heaven, my friend…

    With your voice and smile in mind, I recall your teachings about finances, building websites and furthering the Kingdom. What a faithful husband, father, friend and servant of God. Thank you for revealing to a young me that God has a sense of humor; that Christians can have fun and be saved at the same time. Thank you for teaching me how to tithe properly. And thank you and Ms Janice for parenting me when I was so far away from home; you covered me as I discovered who I am in Christ. I’m sure your smile is lighting up Heaven. What a joy it must be to walk into the welcoming arms of Jesus; the one you’ve bragged to the whole world about. Heaven will never be the same – nor will we, because of the life of Douglas Dawson.
    My prayers are with the Dawson Family. As you grieve, please know that so many people have come to Christ because of your family. You are currently walking in your purpose and living out a rich legacy. And even now, in the midst of your sorrow, you are witnessing to others.
