Dawn carried such a great positive energy. She was full of life! May God bless you and her children and may her memories comfort all of you. It was a great pleasure to have met and worked with her.

I met Dawn earlier this year at the Corn Fest in Eden. She was warm, sweet, and very friendly. She made me feel very welcome and I looked forward to getting to know her better when she visted NYC, as she planned to do. It's hard to believe that someone so young and full of life could be taken from this world.



My heart goes out to her family and friends during this difficult time.

August 26, 2006

To The Gworek and Becker Families: I was so fortunate to know Dawn in the early 90's when we worked so closely together. We managed to even keep in touch for a short time when she moved on to her new job at Tops. We spent countless hours together confiding in each other and just hanging out and I will never forget that smile, that way about her that could fill a room with all the energy she always had even through some hard times it seemed she never let anything get the best of her. She will never be forgotten. I will never forget the time she spent with me and my daughter just hanging out with us at the park, coming to her birthday parties, going to the movies with us. I could always tell she would be a great mom to her own kids someday. I remember the times we spent going to the gym, all the walking we used to do, that girl always loved to walk. Thinking how ironic life can be after hearing the news of what happened, I was saddened that we lost touch after a few years but remembering these times is how I will always remember Dawn. She will truly be missed, forever remembered and never forgotten. My heart goes out to Cara and Colton. God Bless you both.

God Bless...

It is hard to believe that Dawn, such a wonderful person, could be taken so soon from us. Dawn and I became very close, especially this last year & I still find it hard to believe that when my cell phone rings, it won't be her! I will miss her laughter, her big smile, her determination, but most of all I will miss her friendship. She was a loving mother and I hope her qualities shine through her children. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Gworek Family,



I knew Dawn from Grand Island Middle/High School and I am so sorry to hear about her passing. Although we lost touch when we graduated, I remember Dawn as always being so cheerful and fun to be around. I can only hope that 35 years of memories will help all of you cope during this most difficult time.



God Bless all of you.

Knowing that God didn't take Dawn one minute before he had planned hardly compensates for her loss but somehow hope your faith will comfort you.

God Bless You All,

You come along a person once in your life who you never forget, that person would be Dawn...I was grateful to have known Dawn while at Tops also, and she was best known for her smile and personality. Keep your hearts and heads strong during this difficult time.

Dear Gworek & Becker Families~



I was shocked and saddened to hear the news of Dawn's passing. I had the priviledge of working with Dawn at Tops H.Q for several years and most important with her as a part of my team in the demo department until we both moved on to other opportunities. Fun and laughter filled her every day! I will never forget how she brightened up our department! God Bless you and your families during this most difficult time, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you!!

Bill and Sandy,



I don't have the words to express my shock and sadness for your loss.

Although I spent just a few days with Dawn and Don, it seems like I knew them so well. Wasn't it just yesterday I was hearing about the wedding plans, refurbishing the dream home, Colton's birth then Cara's? I can't imagine what Don and the children must be going through. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.



My deepest sympathies and condolences to you all.



Much love,

Meek

To the Becker and Gworek Family,



My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very sad time! Dawn was a colleague of mine whom I worked closely with on a daily basis but more importantly she was a very dear friend that I cherished! She would walk into the room and just brighten it up with her very sunny disposition! She had such a unique way about her! She will be missed deeply!

To Donald and the entire family: I am so sad to learn of your loss. As neighbors on Norine Drive as far back as when my Grandparents lived at 64 and then we did, we didn't speak much but knew of eachother.

Your entire family is in our thoughts and prayers during this sad and difficult time. God Bless You, may He provide comfort and peace to you.

Dawn,

Full of life and high spirits. Dawn always knew what she wanted in life and nothing could stop her from obtaining her goals. Caring and loving - Dawn would put aside her troubles to listen to yours. In reflection, I see Dawn laughing and smiling spreading her good cheer to each and everyone who touched her life. We will miss you Dawn. Our happy past times will always be cherrished and remembered.
