My deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time. I hope the words at Rev.21:4 bring you comfort. It says: "God will wipe out every tear from their eyes,and death will be no more,neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Peggy and family,
It’s been many years but I still remember what a great funny guy Dale was.
Going to “Dale’s” was always a treat!
And I remember him dropping everything and coming to everyone’s rescue when they were broke down.
And that smile! Always a smile and the happy attitude.
Bless you all and prayers for the coming days.
