Linda & Family
I am very sorry about your loss. I remember when I was young and I would wait for the church bus to pick me up, in which you & Dale were our leaders. I want you to know that you both had a part in who I am today. I am now teaching Sunday school at Hicks United Methodist Church and when I see all the children it makes me think of all the joy you both brought to me and my family as we grew in Christ.
I remember when we were on the bus coming home and we hit a pot hole; I flew over the top of the bus seats and cut me knee very badley; well Dale picked me up in his arm's carried me into my house and told me that it would be okay. I knew just from his tender voice that everything would be okay; what a wonderful person. God sure received a great person into his arms.
God be with you and the boys and remember that Dale is home with his father now and we will meet him again in which he once again will be there to pick us up and tell us that everything is okay now.
