"I knew Dawne through twila's family for a number of years. At family gatherings like weddings or picnics down at farmers park she always showed up with a smile and her crossword puzzles. I remember at the weddings I would have a dance with her at it brought so much joy to be out there dancing. I guess that is my best memory of sissy.I know now that Ned and Grandpa will take good care of her. I will miss her at the gatherings. My familys prayers are with you. Dan"

Tributes
"When Dawn first moved into the HCO group home, I was one of her staff. Even though it took her a while to get use to the new surroundings, she always greeted be with a smile. I remember she always asked me to change the channel to the Game Show Network. She was a sweet lady and I really enjoyed working with her."
"I knew Dawn through water therapy but never knew her last name so I did NOT know she was a Bosteter. I just looked at the picture in the shopper today and realized who she was. Dawn was always ready with a smile and a funny gesture or remark. She always livened up the session. I have not seen her there for a while but I miss her already. She made a very positive statement wherever she went. Now I know why, she's a Bosteter. God Bless, Mary"
"Twila our thoughts and prayers are with you. Sissy is now at peace with your Dad and Ned. God bless you as you go through this difficult time. Andy and Megan Wojo"
