Hi, I'm Barbara, Dale's sister. We used to have a blast training our calves so we'd have transportation, plus pull our siblings in a lil red wagon. What fun!! Then one day we took Papa Welch's 1951 car from the garage so we could see how fast Dale's horse Belle could run. I was riding, Dale driving - Belle made it to 35 miles/hour. What fun! Belle went straight thru the hay pasture fence and deposited me at the foot of the hill near the canal on my backside! No one was seriously hurt. :) :)

Hey Brother, Just am missing you so.... much. So sorry to say, but our great President Trump had the election stolen from him by fraud from what I understand. However, it hurts deeply to know that We The People have NO ONE looking out for us. It's as though, the left is ANTI-AMERICAN. SORRY Brother, but many still appreciate our veterans who served to keep America Free. so again, Brother, Thank You for your service to our Freedoms. Love you so... much.
Linda,

I am missing you my dearest brother.

Oh....how this passing over has left a void in my spirit I just cannot explain. Dale, was more like the go to Dad I did not have. Oh...how I will miss him. He was a loud growl with a BIG heart! I You are resting my dearest brother. I love you!!! You and my husband, John, aka Jack, had a sweet bond of comraderee. You were always there, along with Lee Boy, to move us. Thank You for being you. Father God decided that this was your time to go be with Him, therefore, we must let you go and be at PEACE. By-the-way, President Trump will win this election for you and many other veterans.
