I was privileged to have known Dawn while attending Feiding chapel..anx visits to her home In which she shared about her life..her children and grandchildren Dawn always was someone who saw the best in everyone and lived life to the full.

I was sad to see the lovely Dawn has passed on, I loved our chats when she came into the clinic and feel blessed that I only saw her a few weeks ago. Much love to all the family. I used to fly with John in Nelson. Thinking of you all.

My sincere condolences for your loss. And my thanks for the comfort and friendship, and love that Dawn and my father Bob shared at Woodlands for the last 6 months. Thank you also for embracing Bob and supporting him during a difficult time for your family. Deb and I, unable to get to Feilding for the funeral, watched the service on-line. It was a moving service. I was a bit emotional with Bob's few words. Dawn was always enthusiastic and bubbly when I visited. I will miss seeing her.

Dear David, Shirley and all the family, We send you our love and sympathies as you mourn the loss of dear Dawn. She will be so dearly missed by many, as she showed love to all she met. Her big bear hugs and smoochy kisses will be remembered by us always! Dawn was a woman who lived life with gusto and cheekiness - a fine example for all of us not to take life too seriously! You are all in our hearts and prayers, Much love, Steve, Marie and family.

To Dawns Family My father Don Beard and I send our condolences to you all and are thinking of you at this sad time. Dawn made Dads time at the resthome so much brighter and she will be greatly missed by him. Rhonda Harland and Don Beard.

Auntie Dawn, I so love you and have very happy memories of our life together. Love Rosinaxx

Sheryle , John & family We are so sorry for your loss of your lovely Mum. I have such warm childhood memories of Dawn and her big, cheeky smile, sparkling eyes and laughter. Those days of her waving furiously out the drivers window on the bus, just to say hello to us kids. ( and I think embarrass your friends, Sheryle). Dawn was one of the characters of my childhood and I will remember her fondly and with love. RIP our lovely Dawn xx

Sending love to you Sheryle,John and family. I remember Dawn as a warm caring loving woman, who enjoyed life to the fullest and her smile and laughter was beautiful to see and hear especially when seeing both Dawn and Sheryle together. Wonderful memories.
