I loved my Maw Dale...Penn's was my first job out of high school and Maw and Betty and Lillian welcomed me with open arms! She taught me how to "treat people good" as she called it. She was always kind and uplifiting! My career has moved on into the great feild of medicine now and I recall treating her at the Rehab not long ago. It was so good to see her. She hadn't changed a bit! Still the loving little lady I knew 25 years ago behind the register at Penn's. She loved her family and her goats as I recall! She often told me stories about SNUPPY her little dog she had from years ago. We would laugh and talk for hours it seemed. She will be sorely missed this side of heaven but Heaven has gained a true angel! She loved her grandchildren too and we spoke of Justin and Sandy many times.May God give you comfort and peace in knowing we will meet again on heavens bright shore where our stories will never end. God bless you all. Miss you Maw Dale... until we meet again.
