I have many wonderful memories of Uncle Dale and Aunt Leah. As a child the fun times we had at Aunt Veras and Uncle Harls are priceless. We always looked forward to the times when Dale, Leah and Skip came to visit. We always tried to visit when we came to Washington. I love Uncle Dale and know I will see him again someday. He was a wonderful man.

Our deepest condolences. We are so happy that Mom (Viola) and Dale got to spend these past years together. We shall always remember how he sang to mom, held her hand and treated her with the utmost love, kindness and respect. He will surely be missed.

To The Family, I want to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. I also want to share the comfort of John 5:28,29 where we are promised that those who have fallen asleep in death have the hope of receiving a “resurrection” back to life. Life on an earth restored to a beautiful paradise. Psalms 37:11 says, “The meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.” While we await that wonderful time please find comfort in these promises. www.JW.org
