| Posted by: Agnes Gawne Thu August 23, 2012 | Dear Grace and the rest of the Brown and Gawne families: I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot believe that such a fine young man is taken from us! Please hold your fondest memories of him close during this painful time. I truly mourn with you. |
| Posted by: Amanda Thu August 23, 2012 | I am a friend of your Aunt Agnes. I'm so sorry for your loss and your families loss. It's so hard to deal with such swift unexpected loss. I hope your grief is spent quickly. I have lost several loved ones, and though the pain does ebb and flow, I still feel their presence from time to time and know they never truly leave. I hope light returns quickly, as the darkness of grief hides the love...but the love never dies.

| Posted by: Sheila Gawne Fri August 24, 2012 | Dov, I bid you farewell, as this part of your journey has ended, so soon, and so unexpectedly, it just doesn''''''''t seem right. I am sad that Grace is going to have to learn to live this life without you. You have been part of our family for a very long time. I enjoyed your bouncing into my life, your snarky humor, and your wicked but playful personality. You really were a one of a kind guy and a perfect match for our family. I am sorry that life wasn''''''''t more kind to you and Grace, I pray that some day you will meet again, until that time I know that a part of her is with you and a part of you is always with her. I will lift your families up in prayer for the kindness and peace that only true love can bring. |
| Posted by: Patrick B Gawne Sat August 25, 2012 | I never got to meet Dov in person, just knew him through facebook for a couple years and vicariously through the family. I always looked forward to his goofy status updates.
My Mom never ran out of good things to say about Dov. I like to think she was there to greet him to the next phase. For Grace and all who loved him, I offer up my prayers that you find peace and understanding and a good deal of humor as you celebrate his life. He is there with you all, now and forever alive in your hearts and minds. |
| Posted by: Jessica Stinchcomb Sat August 25, 2012 | I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Dov. I haven't seen him since high school but have thought of him often in certain situations due to the conversations we had during high school. We had several classes together over the years and we would always end up in this deep conversations or as most would call them weird conversations. He was a genuine person and I am sure he will be greatly missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Grace and their families. May he rest in peace. |

Your mother and I are so very sorry that you have lost your Dov. For these last seventeen years we have welcomed him into our home, first as your boyfriend, and then as your committed partner, and for these last nine years as your husband. You have been so strong and so good through this terrible ordeal, and yet I know your heart is broken and your emotions torn by this awful loss. We love you, and we are here for you however you need us. Love, Dad and Mom |
