To the family we are so sorry for your loss and he will be dearly missed at the Lord’s House of Prayer. We will always remember Dale having a smile on his face and a positive attitude no matter what was going on. We had wonderful visits when he was at Kadima Rehab. And loved the fresh baked cookies. Now that Dale got a promotion and lives in the Kingdom he is alive and Free. And is eating at the King’s table.

Dale will be missed. He has always been a cheerful and kind friend and member of LHOP. He was loved by old and young alike. His greeting and conversation was always upbeat and encouraging. Even through his illness, Dale always had a good word to share. My sympathy to all of you, his family and loved ones, especially those little ones, may God comfort you and bless you through this time.

My condolences to Tammy and to the family and friends of Dale. I remember working with him in the toddler Ministry at the Lord’s House of Prayer. He would lay his hand on every child and pray for them every day that he was there. I could always depend on him . He truly seem to reflect the Lord’s heart.
