Carolyn, Blair, Dana, Dawn and all there are no words that can adequately express my ❤️ at this moment. I could not help but think of his cousin Stefan who passed eight years ago and how many memories have you gotten to make with Dale during these years. We all go back to years of friendship and fun times raising our children. I remember Blair coming on trips with us and people thinking I had six sons because he looked so much like mine. Those are wonderful memories. I still have the wooden cornices he made for my windows and they will be here to always remind me of him and his handy hobby producing wonderful word work. God grant you all the peace and assurances to know that he will be watching over you always. RIP Dale. You are loved. ❤️ Cheryl.
