I had the pleasure of getting to know Dawn many years ago at Brucefield Church childrens play group when all our kids were small. Every week we would meet and our kids would play while us moms relished some coffee and a little time together to share the trials, troubles and joys of being a mom and having toddlers and babes. We all shared many laughs- I can still hear Dawn and her infectious laugh – telling us stories that would get everyone laughing with her. As both her and my kids grew up we would still cross paths at the St. Columban soccer field or at a Seaforth broomball game and it didn&&single&&t matter if I had seen her last week or last year, she always greeted you like a dear friend.Her family was her life and she was fiercely proud of all you kids- it showed in every way and every conversation. She was a beautiful person with a wicked sense of humour that brought the best out of each and every person she met. Our deepest condolences go out to you Matt, Brianna, Mikaylee and Kaden

Dawn was my friend and esthetician for more than 25 years and she was brilliant at both. She was one of the more caring and sharing individuals you could ever meet, full of joy with a keen interest in everything new. She loved a great story and enjoyed a good laugh. Her love for Matt and her children knew no bounds and she radiated love in everything she touched. Dawn will be greatly missed and my thoughts are with Matt, Brianna, Mikaylee and Kaden. Cass
