To Bette, Lois and family: It's with a heavy heart and deep sorrow that I write this note. Few words could justifiably console your family's grief at this time, but I just want you to know how blessed I feel (and I know this goes for all the great 'kids' who grew up together in Manawa and especially on and around Mill Street) to have known and loved Dale and who's thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I remember so fondly the many good times we had growing up - sleep overs(Lois: I can still smell the aroma of your delicious homemade bread), scouting ventures, church and school events, non-
stop neighborhood games (you rarely see kids playing outside anymore!) - just to name a few, It was a wonderful time and place and it was exceptionally good, because of wonderful families like the Kraghs. We were all so blessed to have one another -- and now we are shaken by the loss of one of our own. Still, we will always have those wonderful memories and I will cherish them forever. Regrettably, we are unable to attend the services on Saturday, but please be assured we will be with you in spirit. On behalf of my wife Simone and the entire Dorcas clan, please accept our heartfelt sympathy. Mike Dorcas
