Thoughts and prayers to my Auntie Mae and to Christie, Jerry, Jill, Lynn and Todd. I am going to miss Uncle Wally very much as he was like a second dad to me. We grew up very close as families and I consider my cousins as additional brothers and sisters. I know he is with my dad and mom and they are having a great time. I am sorry we will not be able to attend, but we are thinking of all of you at this time and always.
Love, the Dale Servais family.
