Papa - I have only been in the family a short time, however, you have received me with all your love. I love you and was happy to have you in my life as long as I did. I will try my best to take care of your son and grandchildren. I want you to know that I love them with all my heart and will try to always keep a smile on their face just like you did. I know they will never forget their "driving grades" with the golf cart! And I will always try to make sure all the pictures Dale hangs...

You guys were always fun to talk
to and be with, always smiling or
laughing.
Dale always reminded me of Elvis.
When we use to live in Indiana and
went to family affairs, we always
had a good time. Oh, so long ago.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Sharon, Tom Hatfield & Margie Waite
