Our heartfelt condolences. Dale was our patient for many years. Throughout the years he became family. He will deeply be missed. The clinic is not the same without him. We know he is in a better place, and he is now united with his wife. Sending thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Sincerely, Marymount Chronic Care Clinic.
