Hey Dawson family. My name is Hailey and I work at the Hardee's in Maysville. I just wanted to say how sorry I am that you are going through this. DeCray was my manager and he trained me. I loved him and I know he had so much life left to live. He was a great person and had a big heart. He was always teaching me to be a better worker and person in general. I hope you guys can get through this.

Aww DeCray! It was such a pleasure and joy to meet you in college. You were always in such good energy when ever we crossed paths. Thank you for encouraging me and giving us the car rides to Greene Street , and being in Couture with you was so much fun.
