We are sorry to hear of the great loss of your husband, father, and grandfather. We hope you find comfort in knowing you filled Dale's life with peace and joy and may you be able to carry on these gifts in his memory. One of Craig's dearest memories of Dale is of him walking off of Grandpa Meisinger's hay loft for a laugh. We include you and yours in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Patsy and Family:
Please accept our heartfelt sympathy and deep sorrow at the loss of one our dearest friends and an industry's "mascot" for many years. You and all of your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We appreciate - more than we can properly convey - what you and "Lucky" Dale have contributed to us as individuals, as chimney sweeps, as an organization and as friends. Each of us hopes to be able to visit sometime after the New Year, but will keep in touch until then.
We do, indeed, love you.
Sincerely,

Dear Patsy and family;
Though I didn't know Dale personally, I've certainly heard his name often and am so sorry to hear of your loss. Thank God, that though our lot here on earth changes from day to day, HE does not change! He promises to give grace when we ask Him for it, and over my life I've gotten to see how true He is to His Word and how GOOD He is! I'm praying that you experience His great strength as you go through this hard time. Hebrews 4:14-16, Hebrews 2:14-15
