Dear Dale,
Few people have the courage and grace you have consistently shown throughout this long long illness. And the adventurous spirit that made the most of every minute you had left together. You and Mike made a high art of living well; of facing enormous challenges together with honesty and steadfastness. Mike is ok now. Please, call on us for anything, any time, to help you through the next weeks and months. Much love, Barb Weller

Dale, David and Jordan:

Mike put up such a long brave, fight against his cancer. We enjoyed seeing him walking in the neighborhood. One time he helped me take 3 of your leaf bags for Halloween and he hoisted them up into our truck. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sorry we cannot make the viewing tomorrow but you will be in our thoughts. Jean & Denny
