Dear Ones, there is never an easy way to say farewell to a parent. Let God's grace help you replace grief and sadness with happy memories and the knowledge that he has been restored to his prime with no pain or infirmities. Uncle Jack is with our Lord and reunited with Aunt Mary. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love, Dale

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I first met Mary and Jack and Michael the summer of 1960. Shortly after Ray and I married. They really made me feel like part of the family. To know them was to love them.
Love all of you, Uncle Ray and Aunt Dorothy.
