To Dawn's Family.
Rekindled old St Philomena's contact in Queenstown. We enjoyed renewing contact in these latter years. We thoroughly enjoyed these times and also reading and sharing Dawn's book. What an amazing life she has led on the huge farm, the Trucking business, running the family and coping with the joys and sorrows of loosing so many family members. Dawn has taught us all how to step up and conquer. She was a valued member of the the Catholic Church and apart from her Ministering she looked after the wellbeing of many clergy with love and compassion. God will reward her richly in heaven where she will have a blessed time catching up with so many family and friends. Our love and prayers to all family and friends. We appreciated the Live streaming opportunity.
May she rest in peace. Julie and Kevin Marshall. Wellington.
