I have very fond memories of my time staying with Uncle Frank and Aunty Dawn and how I harassed the girls so I could ride the horses! Such a kind lady. Sorry I could not be there with you at the funeral. Lots of love. Xx

Dawn was such a warm caring person we met through our love of roses at the Southern Rangitikei Rose Society and through my husband Colin who had a family connection to Scott´s Ferry.
My love and deepest sympathy to the Nitschke
family
