Dear Aunt Anna,
We send our love today as you celebrate the life of Uncle Dale and his entry into the arms of the Lord. He is dancing with the saints and one day we shall join him.

We are so glad to have seen you both in the last few years. Uncle Dale's upbeat view of life, and his droll sense of humor were evidence of his deep faith - apart from his unfailing witness to his blessings.

May God be with you today and always.

Love,
Marc and Thelma

I have many memories of Dale from going to church at South Lake Shore when I was growing up. Dale and Anna took our family in like we were one of their own and helped guide us with the knowledge that we needed to know about God. Dale was a very good Christian man, and he spread the message of love with anyone that he talked with. My deepest condolences to the family and extended family.

I would like to first Thank Powers for the wonderful service and professionalism they have provided our family. Anna and I have tried to get as many pictures of family with Dale as we could in such a short time. However, please know that Dale picked out all of the pictures you see on the photo gallery. If there are any pictures you would like to add, please feel free. The more the better. You may have some that you may want to share for a special memory of Dale as well. We will truly miss him and we are proud to have had him in our lives.
Love Stephanie Davis (daughter in law)
