Dawn Gardyne was a delightful friend at St. Andrew's during my brief but refreshing ministry. I do remember one her daughters who was home when I visited her. My thoughts and prayers go with her family.......

Very sad to say goodbye to the last of our uncles and aunts that formed the foundation of my father's side of our family. Our childhood highlights were the long summer holidays we took to 'Eselmont' and the always busy farm and kitchens that Auntie Dawn was the centre of. We will always remember with smiles. Happy days...

Farewell to a very special Aunt. I have many fond memories of Dawn´s hospitality when I stayed both at Esslemont and Frankton when visiting from the North Island. Enjoyed celebrating Dawn´s 90th in Gore, such a loving, compassionate woman.
Love from Alison Gardyne
