Thanks Jackie for posting the link to the guestbook. Has anyone heard any updates on Hatem??

[~Jackie~ 30]

I doubt we will know til tommorrow. I will be home probably about 7:30pm after the service. I'll update everyone then.

I know. I keep checking the Chicago Suntimes and the Chicago Tribune. I don't think Darien has its own papers. They are very nice at the funeral home every time I call with questions.

We are sending the Quiet Tribute standing spray by FTD if you would like to see the arrangement.

As of this morning we have $160 over the flowers to give to Hatem. I thought long and hard about this decision. What would Dawn have wanted. And she would have wanted us to help him. I am sure of it.

I had thought maybe the driver of the other car was ill or just not paying attention. No. He was drunk. At 11am, he was drunk. This makes me sick. Nothing will bring back my friend. If he gets prison time, doesn't matter. If he walks, no fair. Either way Dawn is gone.

INNA LIALLAHI WAINNA ILAHI RAJEEN

may Allah grant her soul peace and her family patience
