15 yrs ago, my morning started with a broken heart. I have thought of you so many times, Dale. Our time together serving in Emmaus were the best of my life. You are NOT forgotten.

Dear Karen and family ... Our thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathy extend to you all. The Mount Union and Copper Hill prayer chain groups are praying for you all at this time.
While he will be missed here on the earth, he has fought the good fight is now in paradise and one day we will get to see him again.
May God bless and comfort you at this time.

Karen & Family,
I have cried more and deeper over this, than over my own parents. I absolutely adore you two! The Word says, Precious in the Lord's sight is the death of his saints (Psalm 116:15)--and while we thank Him for His victory over death, we have to cry out to Him that Dale's passing leaves a HOLE in our hearts, until we can all meet again.
I am not able to attend the funeral, much to my dismay and hurt. But my heart and soul are with you --and have been with you, during this entire time. My prayers will continue for the family.
Karen, in the weeks to come, I hope to get together with you, we'll go eat and cry on each other's shoulder, and comfort each other with the Word.
I love you sooooooo much. More than you probably know. I'll call soon.
In His Love,
Vicki DiNitto

Karen and Family:
I was so deeply saddened to hear of Dale's passing. I have fond memories of you two when Dale was pastoring Copper Hill Church of the Brethren. I loved his sense of humor and ready smile. I am so grateful of Dale's encouragement to take my Emmaus Walk. It was truly a blessing. I pray God will see you and your family through the days ahead. I know you will miss him terribly and Floyd County will miss a dedicated, caring man.

Karen,
I very much rejoice in the fact the Lord brought our paths to cross with you and Dale back at Copper Hill COB and several times thereafter. I know it will be hard for you as you continue the journey, but God never leaves nor forsakes!
