ALL OUR LOVE
Dalene touch my life in so many ways. I will missing her dearly until I see her smiling face again in heaven.
I know it is silly to be here after all the time that has passed but the other day as I walked my grandson up the hill from sled riding, Memories flooded me of the many cold mornings that you would fall down the hill on the way to school and we would help you up laughing only for you to fall again. You know we were all counting on you so that we would miss the bus-Your silliness and laughter are missed by all. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family and Dillon always.
Until we meet again.
