Dear Dale and Denny,
Am so sorry for your loss. Will not make it to the funeral because I am still in the south. When I first married Mary gave me so really good tips on marriage. She always held a special place in my heart. Prayers for you and your family.

Dale, Dennis and Family,
We are very sorry for your loss. It is hard to give up the ones we love. We enjoyed knowing the Byes' as neighbors in the Garden Prairie area. Bob is out of town and is disappointed that we won't be able to make it down for the funeral. His sister, Mary Ellen, was the flower girl in Tub and Mary's wedding. Our prayers and thoughs are with all of you.

Dale, Dennis, Dawn and families.
Sorry for your loss. You and I have lots of good memories to hold onto. Joan and I cannot be with you at this time as we are now full time Floridians.
