Aunty Dawn,
We were saddened to learn of your passing, Gone too soon. We will always remember your affable smile, endearing welcoming nature and the motherly protection you displayed over Deryck and Tara-Jane when we walked in New Year’s morning of 2019 (in St.Lucia) with the intention of waking them both up by singing Hope & Pray (given that they couldn’t join us for the New Year’s Eve celebrations as Deryck had an early flight that morning). You said they needed their sleep and made sure we were kept at bay. That is only one memorable moment of many, but one that brings a smile to our faces as we recall it. I then fell asleep leaving you talking to Lisa in the kitchen as she had lost her Uncle the week before and she will always remember your kind and gentle words of comfort. You also reached out to her many times when her own father was diagnosed with cancer and your messages always showed your thoughtfulness to others. The truth is, you expressed the same protection, love and kindness to us all and for that we will always remember and love you. You will be sorely missed. Rest in eternal peace.
Gordon & Lisa.
Aunty Dawn. I grew up knowing how special you were. I hope you are resting easy now with family past and looking out for those still here. You are missed and loved for all that you are and have been. My thoughts are with your family and the loss that they feel without you. Missed always, never forgotten.
Rest peacefully Dawn. We shared some great times. You gave me my first ‘shag ‘ haircut. You might be gone but will never be forgotten💕

Merry Christmas, Auntie Dawn. You embodied your namesake, always shining like the sunrise. Your infectious laughter and amazing sense of humor will remain with me forever. Love you always, Shax.
My little Big sister: You knew me my entire life and we four siblings shared so many amazing and wonderful memories. Too numerous to mention here. You faced life’s many challenges to the best of your abilities but your inner strength showed through when you overcame two biggest ones, “cold turkey”. You set your mind to it and you DID it!! My admiration of you, for this almost insurmountable feat, has always been at the forefront for me, during our many conversations, over these blessed years. Your greatest achievements, of which you were proudest are your two daughters, Tara Jane and Cathriona. You endured and persevered through so much because of your deep seated love, kindness towards and protectiveness of them. We shared so many deep “belly” laughs as you endured my silliness and “ole jokes”. Always with your response of “trust you, eh”? Then life presented you and your loved ones with a challenging health issue. One whose finality would shake even the toughest of us, with such fear, feeling of helplessness and even deep resentful anger. But every time we spoke, after your diagnose, your resolution to the inevitability showed an amazing inner strength. Many times you said to me “whatever is meant to be, will be”. Your only deep concern was for your loved ones. You always were/are, Dawn, Aunty Dawn, Dawnie, Aunty Dawnie, Mother Hood and Dawncita to us all. You ultimately showed your unselfishness and deep love for us all by the way you, which I deeply believe in my mind and heart, planned your transition. You gave us some time to try to come to terms with, and try to deal with, your leaving this corporeal reality into a spiritual one. You and I always discussed loved ones crossing over and being greeted, welcomed and embraced by others, who preceded them. It is my deeply held belief and faith in this thought, that helps me to make my peace and console myself with not being able to hear your “hey there” greeting whenever you call me or I called you, for another of our crazy convos. I will miss you dearly but you remain with us in spirit and always in our hearts and thoughts. Always your “baby” brother, Ian.
TJ our deepest condolences to you and your family.May your beautiful mother’s Memory and spirit be eternal ❤️ may she rest in peace 🙏🕊️
Merry Christmas mom. We are going to miss you.
