Dennis,Dale and Families
I am very sorry to learn of your mother's passing. I have many fond memories of your Mom and Dad. Going to Car races in the old Volvo and your mother teaching us to dance for the Prom. They are both some of the finest people that i know. They both gave me advice after my father's passing when i was 17. I Pray that God will help ease the pain of Your loss. I know that he has received them both with open arms. Ray & Dolores Correll
