After Dale and mother, Joyce and Sherry moved back to PA I did not have contact with them till the 80's. I saw Dale at some of the family gatherings and visited with him and Debbie at their house several times. The highlight of his last years was when Sherry arranged for Claire, Bruce, Dale and I to have a reunion at Taryn and Joe's wedding. That was so great because we all had a chance to talk to each other and mend all fences we had prior to that. Dale and I found out we were not the problem. We talked at length about this. My only regret is that it did not happen sooner. Dale is now with the Lord and is no longer in pain and that gives me peace. I pray that all of us can find peace in that. As it says in Psalm 23:4 "Even when I walk through the dark valley of death, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me" I am sure that was the case with Dale.
I will miss you Dale and always remember you with lots of love and tenderness as you always showed to me.
