I am going to miss seeing Mary in church. She always welcomed me each Sunday with a smile and asked how I was. She was such a sweet person and it's not going to be the same there without her. Love you Mary.

Nancy, Doris and I extend our sympathy to you and all your family. Mary was one of my favorites during high school and all of the Dale girls were special. I wish I could have come to family night, at least, but was not able to. I will never forget her, as we grew up together and I have nothing but fond memories of her. May God give you and her family peace at this time of sorrow.
