Dear Dale I hope you are having a great time right now, everything over here is fine, I don't care if anyone sees this, but I love, after all I am your grandson.

My deepest sympathies to you, Dale. May fond memories sustain you at this time and always. She is only gone from us physically since she lives on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Dear Dale, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Celia. She has been on my mind over the last few weeks and I searched on Facebook to see if I could find her. She was my dear friend when we were young and we had many wonderful times together. We lost touch after you moved away. We saw each other when we both worked at St Joseph's Hospital in the late 1980's. We moved to Scottsdale in 1998 and I lost touch with many people in Tucson. My love to you and your family.

What heartbreaking news, Dale... Celia was perhaps my first friend when we moved to Tucson in the mid-50s; she lived down the street. Her sweet face never changed. My thoughts are with you and the family.
