Dear Dan, Wayne (Jeannie) Heather (George). We send our deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother. She was an amazing person and we spent so much time with both Dawn and Bill over the many years we were in London. It is fitting that her middle name was Elizabeth because she always dressed as smartly as a Queen. When Dawn and Bill came to church on Sunday morning they were such a stunning couple. Words cannot express how much we loved Dawn. If we were to write a book about our memories and times spent together it would be a happy one. May God bless you all during these difficult times. She will be truly missed. John and Myrne

Sincerest Condolences to Dawn's family on her passing. You will remember as a loving mother, grandmother, sister and cousin. I feel your loss as I remember all the good times we shared over the years when we were growing up. Our parents kept our two families close for many years, visiting and enjoying the fun and laughter. God's blessing to each and every one of you. Lenore and family.
