Jan and Brian I am so so sorry for your loss. I have not seen Dawnia in years and it makes me sad to think that her mother in law lives in the same town of Strathroy as I do and we never ran into each other here. I would have loved to catch up with her. I have so many memories with Dawnia from our Valhalla days as teenagers. She was a good friend. I pray that you find strength during this time through all of the memories you have. I know how close you 3 were. May she rest in peace and fly with the angels. Donna xo

Darren, Jesse, and Rayann, We are so deeply saddened by Dawnia's passing. It seems so unimaginable to have life without her. She was such a warm, gentle, loving person. I remember meeting Dawnia the first time, she was so happy and comfortable to be with our family. Bringing cute, little Jesse into our lives was such a wonderful highlight. I remember when you got married, she was so proud of her little baby bump under her beautiful dress. How excited we all were to welcome a beautiful baby girl into our family. Dawnia loved her children so much. Jesse and Rayann were so precious to her. She loved family gatherings and she would laugh and smile when she watched all the children play. Darren and her had such a playful side and we would all smile as they cuddled and joked with each other. We will never forget her and we are so fortunate to have had her in our family. She fought so brave for so many years and she met all her health challenges with dignity. Darren, Jesse, and Rayann, we are so sorry that you have to go through this horrible pain, but it is because you loved her so deeply. It is a special and wonderful gift to love someone so much. Try to remember all the happy memories and her sweet smile. She will never leave you. You will carry her in your hearts forever; we all will. We miss you Dawnia and we will think of you with love and fond memories always. Love, Julie, Randy, Chloe & Tate oxoxoxo

Darren, Jess, Rayann Brody(family pet) and all family members, I am so sorry for your loss of a very special person. Dawnia my true good friend and neighbor for several years, she was such a smart strong willed person, never gave up once she had her mind made up, her determination gave me strength and I am very proud of her. We had talks about our kids growing up, and everything about our lives. Dawnia and I would always say(sorry for whining to you) as we did that also back and forth, but at the end always say hey that's what friends are for! I could always rely on Dawnia as she was only a hop skip and a jump away and would give a helping hand in a heart beat. My Daughter TaBi and her would talk on Dawnias coach and laugh for hours, they even sang songs together which sounded pretty good I told them they should start a band up. They sure had a special bond. Dawnia and I also had great times loved going for golf cart rides it was a hoot. Dancing on our decks, lying on the ground staring at the stars in the sky, we were like little kids again. Thank you Dawnia for being my best friend I am so happy to have had you in my life and you will always be in my heart. I love you and will miss you forever. Love Brenda and Tabitha XXXOOO
