My Sister My Friend Dawn. You were so much more than a sister you were a great friend too There is a place in my heart especially for you.
In my thoughts are so many memories of the wonderful things you've done, I want you to know that I'm so grateful for each and every one.
My friends call me by name, but there's one I'll surely miss because you were an awesome friend, one who could call me sis.
Although things have changed around us my love will hold true and I have been so blessed to have a sister as wonderful as you. Love you forever- Kaye

A sister is a Gift to the Heart
a Friend to the Spirit
and a golden Thread to the Meaning of Life

To my darling sweet wee sister Dawn. You left me with this beautiful quote which I will cherish always. You will be forever in our hearts.

All my love
Sharyn

My thoughts go out to Dawns family. She was a highly respected lady at Allied Pickfords through out the whole country. Dawn was known as someone who would always help out customers and staff alike with a smile and friendly greeting. She will be missed by all who met her.

An Aunty Just Like you

I just want to let you know
You mean the world to me
Only a heart as dear as yours
Would give so unselfishly

The many things you've done
All the times that you were there
Help me know deep down inside
How much you really care

Even though I might not say
I appreciate all you do
Richly blessed how I feel
Having an Aunty just like you

Lots of Love Donella and Brent
