O'donnell -- Dale O'Donnell 12-31-30 to 12-7-98 In loving memory of my precious husband whose birthday I remember today. I'm so thankful that I was privileged to spend thirty six wonderful years with this kind, humble and generous man. His love for me never wavered; and I was blessed to be loved by him. The memories of him will last a lifetime; and the frequent dreams of him are a source of comfort to me, but the pain and loss I feel are too deep to adequately express in mere words. My only assurance is that someday I will see him again in Heaven where nothing will separate us for all Eternity. With all of my love forever, Sue
