"Dear Holt and Kids:
I was stunned to hear this week about the passing of Dale. I am so sorry and cannot imagine what you all have gone through. I lived in Shadow Brook for 33 years before selling in July and moving away. I have known Dale for most of that time. I always enjoyed her so much - she was cheerful, friendly, and helpful. She always carried a big smile and made me feel good. You are all in my prayers." Lee Ellis

Dear Gordon Family,
I have such great memories of growing up in Almaden and seeing your smiling faces at the pool in the summertime. I was so sorry to hear your news, but please know that many of us are thinking of you during this difficult time and sending you love.

Dear Holt, Stacy, Steven and Lindsay,
I am so sorry for your loss. Dale was a wonderful, warm, positive person and I have such fond memories of her. Since I met her over 25 years ago through our mutual connection to Explorer Preschool, I have enjoyed her friendship immensely, from visiting the Family History Library together for genealogical research on our families to the many wonderful Explorer moms dinners we shared at Country Inn Cafe. She will be missed. My condolences to your entire family.

Dear Holt, Stacy, Steven and Lindsay,
I am saddened by your loss. I always enjoyed Dale's quick wit, her easy going nature, and fun spirited sense of humor. When Lindsay was an infant, I recall thinking how calm and gentle Dale was, and hoped that I'd be the same way with my babies. I appreciate her taking the opportunity to visit with Emily and Thomas when she and a friend were in Washington. I have many fond memories of Dale.
Love to you all.

Lindsay, I was so sorry to read about your mom. She was always so nice and cheerful whenever I'd run into her in Almaden. Last time I saw Dale was a few weeks ago at music in the park and she had that beautiful smile on her, face bee-boppin to the music. That's how I will always remember her. She was a great lady and will truly be missed.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
