The TowneLaker's
2003 Mother
of the Year
Dawn Price
Congratulations to Dawn Price from The
TowneLaker's Community Advisory Board for being selected the 2003
Mother of the Year.
Dawn is a very amazing person. She undauntedly
has reared three children even through she is quadriplegic. This has not
stopped this fine lady from rearing her children to not only respect her,
but also every other person they meet. Dawn's teenage children, Devin
and twin brother Ross and younger son Jacob, are students at Etowah High
School. She has always worked at home just so she could be there for them.
You know when you talk to Dawn that her children are her life and she
would do anything for them.
"My Mom is the most independent person I
know," says her daughter Devin. Dawn has taught her children not to give
up, not to compromise their values and always try to help others when
they need help.
Dawn comes from a very closely knit family.
In 1979, she moved to the area from Rochester, NY, following her parents.
Her mom Gail Price presently lives in Centennial Place. Dawn's brother
Don Price, lives in Summerchase and her 93 year-old grandfather, Win Gorden,
lives in The Gardens at Towne Lake.
After waiting four years, Dawn was able to
attend a two week camp this past October in Alpharetta to receive a service
dog from Canine Assistant. The program matches individuals with the dogs
that best suit his or her needs and personality. Through a rigorous two
weeks of working with several different dogs, Dawn was given Grayson,
a beautiful golden retriever, who like Dawn's children, adores his master.
The family also has a small cocker spaniel named Onyx.
Congratulations Dawn, you are truly a remarkable
lady.
