I am sorry to hear about Dale. He was my Sunday School teacher when I was in high school and a fine man.
With deepest sympathy,
Kelly Cavitt
My condolences to Diann and the entire Blackburn family. I am so sorry for your loss.
I worked with Dale many times at Brown’s Ferry and thought very highly of him. He was a good Christian man and always put forth his best effort. I know he dearly loved his family by the way he talked about all of you. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family during this time. May God give you peace and comfort during this hard time.
Diann and family I was so very sorry to hear of Dale’s passing. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
