Dear Elaine,
I have not had the privilege of meeting either Dale or you personally. We have been friends through Facebook and because of our common interest in animals. Something drew me to Dale and as much as it could have been his warm smile, it was more likely to be the Holy Spirit, which dwelled in him. My heart and soul ache for your loss, this families loss, as well as the loss felt by a community. I ask in wonderment of our precious Lord Jesus why call the good people home before their time. The answer is not clear. However, my belief is God would have chosen for Dale to remain on earth, at your side, doing the good he did - for many more years. The Lord God weeps at the earthly loss of his son, Dale. And, yet, He has welcomed Dale into his Heavenly home. This is the peace we have, that through His (Jesus) grace and mercy we will, one day, sit at the Right hand of our Heavenly father. Until the day when you are reuntired with your Dale, the same Lord God will strengthen you. Love of God, family, friends, community will surround you and comfort you. Elaine, and those close to Dale; his children, his parents..., you will make it through this Valley because of the healing power of God.

So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dale, you will be truly missed by so many people including myself. I got a kick out of your goofiness and liked your voice with that accent. I had the pleasure of watching you grow over the years with regard to the animals and your commitment to being vegan. You were always kind to me and I enjoyed our conversations. You loved and cared for my dear friend, Elaine and I will always be thankful to you for that. Rest and peace. I'm sure you are busy with the animals in heaven. You are missed, Sheri.
