My Aunt Dale has always been such a special person and fine example to me. I have always admired her many talents and her skills. Kay, Bill, and Ann, I am so very sorry for your loss and I know she will be greatly missed by all of you and your families. I will truly miss her also.
My heart goes out to each of you. May our Savior who knows what is in our hearts convey to you the love and comfort you will each need to adjust to her death. Love to each of you. Cathy Thompson
