I'm so sorry we couldn't come to her service. We had gone to Pigeon forge for a small vacation and couldn't make it back in time. I respected both Dale and Shirley. They were wonderful servants of the Lord Jesus.

I am so sorry about Shirley passing. She and Dale were both such wonderful people. Janice and Gary and I will never forget the incredible ways she helped mom and dad over the years, first in Xenia and then at Heritage Woods in Flora before they moved here to Idaho. I hope you know how much dad appreciated that help too. Our thoughts and prayers are going to all of you.
