Dawn S. Bearman

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Matt and Ethan,
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one steal.
Our hearts go out to you in your time of sorrow.

Dawn Halterman-Bearman Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of Dawn's passing. I really only got to know her well during the months of her illness but although blind and bedridden she was still able to bring joy and laughter into the hearts of so many. I never heard her complain. I know she appreciated the devotion of a loving, caring mother, father, brothers, son, husband, family and friends. I have a feeling someday we will all be answering to Dawn at the feet of our Savior. God bless,

Bob, Sherry, & Boys, We can't begin to imagine what ya'll are going through right now. We'll always remember Dawns smile and how loving and giving she was of herself. God must have another job for her in heaven. Just know that our love and prayers are with you all.

I got to spend the weekend with Dawn at the state PTA convention in April. We had a great time and I will remember her fondly. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Dear Family & Friends,
With our Deepest & Most Sincere Sympathy in the loss of your dear loved one. Cherish those beautiful memories that you have of Dawn... May God hold you in the palm of His hand. You are still in our thoughts & in our prayers.

Dawn was a truly sweet, caring and helpful person. She was loved by many and will be missed greatly! She was always smiling and looking on the bright side of things. I had the pleasure of working in Ethan's classroom and he is definitely a son Dawn will always be proud of. We will keep praying for all members of the Bearman family and especially for Ethan and his dad.

You are in our prayers. I thank you for the great job you did watching my daughter I really appreciate it. You will be missed.

As you have been, my thoughts and prayers continue for you Matt and Ethan.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

At times I feel I missed so much of your life, and at others, I remember all the times we had together. Gunther says that he misses you Aunt Dawn. Forever in our memory...We Love You.

So incredibly sorry for your loss. In all the years I knew Dawn, I don't think I ever saw her without a smile on her face. My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family

I did not have any close encounters with Dawn but I do remember her making Holland PTA events fun & my son Josh knows of Ethan. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know.

For a loving sister that deserved so much more.

Matt and Ethan my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of need. It has been a pleasure to have worked with Dawn at school and at Northcrest for the last 3 years. Keep your head up, you will see her shine down on you from heaven. If there is anything that we can do for you please let us know. We'll miss her!!!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Love and Prayers are with you,So sorry for your loss.

Our family knew Dawn from Immanuel Lutheran Church in Avilla. Dawn was a great help to me during vacation bible school. She was always so very nice and friendly. I really enjoyed knowing her. I'm sorry for Matt and Ethan's loss. We will keep them in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Rick, Rita, and Ricky Foster

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived
okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here
is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up
and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were
gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.

There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for
me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's
chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life
on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not
be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.


I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But
one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.


There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a
time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will
give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day
was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the
way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick
him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in
your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember
you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I had the pleasure of spending the weekend with Dawn at the PTA convention in Indianapolis this year. She was excited to learn new things, sarcastic at just the right times, and just a whole lot of fun to be around. She and Sara made the weekend even better than I could have imagined. She had wonderful ideas to share from her experiences with PTA and baseball. We at Croninger Elementary will miss Dawn and all of her wonderful ideas on how to make our PTA even better!
