Dear Dale and Family,
I was sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Although I only had the opportunity to meet her a few times, I remember her to be a truly delightful and sweet lady. I pray that you and the family find comfort during this time. I'm sure her spirit will live on in your memories while she rests in peace with the Lord. With sincere sympathy...

Mom,

It is finally time to say goodbye , but only from here on mortal earth. You will always be with me in my heart and you are the builder of my very soul. You were always there for me whenever I needed you and even at times when I didn't recognize what I needed. You taught me about life and the real values to aspire to. You also with the help of dad, Pa and Big Mama brought me to fully embrace my faith. Without that I could not with stand the losses of you all. Rest and be at peace with the Lord. You have truely earned your everlasting place in heaven.

I Love you Oddie. Scott
