Dickie, Rick and Chuck,
Words cannot express the sorrow I feel at this time. Dayle had the most profound impact on my life and taught me so much about how to be a grand person, how to find purpose and passionately pursue it everyday, how to be a lady and how to be meaningful to others in the pursuit of creating a better community. She will be forever missed in my heart - her smile, guidance and direction.
She was very proud of all of you- Dickie for the wonderful family man and provider you are, and to both Chuck and Rick for the fine men you have grown to be, all of your accomplishments, and more than anything she was proud to know you were both happy. Know this and find peace in that she suffers no more and is a guiding angel in your life and so many others.

Sharing a life with someone so beautiful, positive, with such a genuine spirit, will yield you a lifetime of smiles and memories. Although I only saw her a few times since we graduated from John M. Gandy HS in 1965, I still smile whenever I think of her,.. chatting continiuosly, ..laughing infectiously. To her family, I feel priviledged to have known your mother and wife.

To the Dunn and Taliaferro Families:
You have most sincere condolences on the passing of someone so dear. Dayle was my high school counselor and teacher at Open High School. I consider her to have been a great mentor to me as well as an educator. She was always willing to listen, share her advice and help in any way that she could. I remember that vividly. Even though, I had not seen her in a while, I know that she was that self same beautiful person to the end. I know that the family will miss her very much, but may you find comfort in knowing that she leaves beautiful memories for many and for all that came to know her personally.
