Graeme and Craig, and families.
Our sincerest condolences on Dawn’s passing. Always a lovely person who reminded me a lot of her mother (my grandmother).
Unfortunately we won’t be able to join the live streaming this afternoon, but our thoughts are with you.

Dawn was a friend to my mother Ros McCalman when they attended Grace Presbyterian Church together. I enjoyed seeing Dawn when she was visiting Mum and I called in.
I will remember her with the way she was always beautifully presented with her clothing and hair.
Sorry I can't be at her service today but I will be watching on Livestream.
Love and prayers

Graeme, Craig, and Family,
My thoughts are with you all. As page boy at your Mum's wedding, I go way back! I'm just out of Kew Hospital and can't be there tomorrow. But when I got the news this week while still in Kew, I couldn't help remembering how important Dawn was to me as the sister of the ward when I was in hospital at 4.
