I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you can find comfort in the hope found at John 5:28, 29.

Dale was a second cousin to me. His grandfather and mine were brothers and they were a couple of the original Benal brothers to come over from Moravia to the United Sates. I have emailed Dale’s obituary to the remaining Benal family in CZ. I only met Dale a few times and that was at funerals for Rose and Nettie Benal. May the good Lord bless Dale and his family.
So sorry to hear of Dale’s passing. Remembering the happier days will help you through the sad ones.
Very sorry to learn of Dale’s passing. My sympathy to all of the family.
May the promises in God’s Word be an encouragement and blessing to you.
