Nadia and family my deepest and sincerest condolences. I came to know Nadia after she completed her instructor course and she became my friend instantly. I wish you all the best.
Mr. Dawe was a kind and funny man. As a coach he was always fair and knowledgeable. I had the pleasure of knowing him as a role model and often envied his children having the parents they did. My condolences to the family and thoughts and prayers to Mrs. Dawe, Nadia, Adrienne, and Shaun.
Our deepest sympathies to the entire family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.
Love,
Lara, Chris, and Max
