Nothing we can do or say will take away the pain but know that we are here to listen no matter what. We loved Dale as we love his Family. He was our Brother.
Dale is at peace now and has Banjo by his side. I am sure they are sitting down by the River. Dale holding on to a cold Budweiser and Banjo sitting by his side watching the fishing pole moving with nibbles from the fish!
