Dale, may you find some comfort, however small, in knowing that so many others cared for you and Dick and all the kids. And that those of us who care and love you are sending prayers your way. I'm sorry I couldn't make the trip down for the service, but I'm glad I DID get down to see him the week before.
I know he has begun a new journey, one filled with wonder, happiness and love. And without pain ! Cancer is a hideous disease that leaves us all wondering 'Why?' ... I guess we'll have those answers someday, but for now we just have to hold tight to faith.
I pray that God gives all of you the strength and the courage to get through this terrible time.
With love and sincere wishes for only good things.... Sandy
