Dear Mary and Family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your father, Dale. I hope you remember me as a friend at Cherry Valley School in Polson. We lost my mom, Amy, in June of this year. We had her funeral in Polson. We miss her so much and think of her often; I am sure you have many memories of your dad too. My thoughts and prayer go out to you and your family. Kathy Rody Hanson
Allen, Mary and next of kin, I would like to take moment to say how sorry we were to hear of Dale’s passing. Dale & I go a long way back in life. Dale was always a very hard worker and had a hard life. Aunt Edith turned Dale out to pasture early in life but he grew to be a good man. All us cousins lived off & on with our Grand parents wrangle cattle, feeding in the winter, breaking horses and helping grandma in her big gardens. I never got to know eather of you to well but understand you both grew up to be nice young people. Agian I am sorry to hear about Dale but feel he is in a much better place now. Love You Lloyd & Sally
Kory and Allen–I am sorry to hear about your dad–my prayers are with you
Its been a long time since I had seen Dale. But my condolences to all of you.
Dale will always be in my heart.
