Dale and Evelyn were
very special people, not only as a cousin of Evelyn's but as good friends. We spent many good times with them when they
were in Florida, and being with them on Thanksgiving was a tradition. They are missed!

Brenda Engle _______________ Dale - I was so lucky to have you and Dale and Evelyn in my young
life with Tom DeWalt, step-father, and my mother, then Betty DeWalt, but most recently, Betty Johnson, who passed away on
10/14/12, always spoiled me, and I loved it!!! Mom always wondered where you were and always loved you both. Now I know that
you Dale, Evelyn, Tom, and my Mom are having a Ginger Brandy, singing Old-Time songs, dancing, and just loving your time together.
We love you all and save a space for the rest of us.
