The whole Dalton family helped raise me and I have wonderful memories of Omer Lee and Mary. He tried to teach me how to saddle a horse with no luck at all. Even tho I haven't seen him in a while I will miss him. I know he and my sister Ann are having quite a time wherever they are. Glad she has a friend to hang with.

Life was always exciting when Omer Lee was around. He always had a story to tell of his latest adventure and everyone would be in laughter. What fun it was growing up as cousins and visiting the farm in Ropes. Janis, I am so glad you got to live those stories and adventures with him. What great memories! Love and blessings to you, the children and grandchildren as you remember those adventures and life together.
