Donna and family thoughts and prayers to all of you during this difficult time. We have some good memories of Dale(Dutch). The best was when we took him to Cattle Congress with us to a concert and then later talking him into going on the bummper cars. He had a blast!!

Donna, Dean, DeAnn, and your entire family...Our thoughts and prayers go out to you at this difficult time. When we would sit and talk to Dale, we'd talk about the old days of being in school(Class of '79)and he remembered the funniest things that I had forgotten. He always would say Hi. God has called him home. "Memories keep those we love in our hearts".
