I seriously have fond memories of Dawn and I am so sorry for your loss. She was always kind, caring and the life and soul of the party. Her sense of humour was infectious.
I am so glad I managed to catch up with her not so long ago.
Kia kaha!
Lots of aroha. XX Kaye

So very sorry to hear of Dawn's death Used to see her when on holidays as a child. Then when she married Bryan [a cousin and our coalman ] we knew it was a great match. Dawn was a real delight and such a lovely person

So sorry to hear of Dawn's passing. Have fond memories of going to the States with her and Bryan, and visiting them in Invercargill. Dawn was an awesome and inspiring lady.

We are so sorry to hear of Dawns passing and often wondered how she was as we lost contact after visiting her in Arrowtown. As a cousin when we both lived in Invercargill we had more regular contact. My two sisters and other brother join in sending our love to the whanau and our thoughts are with you as you say goodbye to someone we remember as a full on person who was always a joy to visit.
From the Rakiura cousins and families, Wendy, Rosemary, Michael and Peter Goomes.

Kia Ora Tamai,I am sorry to hear of your loss. I don't think we've met but Dawn was my Cousin, although I can only remember meeting her once or twice. My name is Simon Gomez (Goomes-from Rakiura))and I now live in Cromwell and plan to be at Dawns memorial service on Monday 18th. I have been trying to find you or someone in your family for a couple of years. I have some information(positive) for you and your family and rather than give it to you at the memorial, if you wish you can call me on 0273660223, or email me at [email protected]
