Tributes

Our love and thoughts are with you all at this very sad time, we hope all the happy memories you share together give you much comfort at this difficult time. I myself have very fond memories of Aunty Dawn with her infectious smile and laughter, always so loving and welcoming. What a beautiful and fitting service for such a special lady. Sadly we could not be there in person but just know we appreciated being able to be a part of the service via live streaming. Much love to you all as you navigate this next chapter in your lives.

Please pass on our heartfelt condolences to your family, Uncle Johnny, Kerry and David, Thankyou Kerry for the phone call, I know how hard that was. I have such fond memories of Auntie Dawn on her visits to Morven with Uncle Johnny, lots of fun times were held in the chapel, usually with music and singing, sometimes dancing but always with laughter, she will be missed. It's not the same, but I'm sending hugs anyway as we can't make it to the funeral. Mum and I will watch the livestream with deepest sympathy as you remember Auntie Dawn. Love Pauline and Tom, Terry and Ruth and Dot Burke
