people loved Dale. She was a wonderful, kind, generous, compassionate
and strong person. She passed away on July 6th, 2011 after battling
diabetes for 40 of her 59 years. She is lovingly thought of and missed
dearly by her family, friends, animal loving contacts and her dog

Dale's favourite poem was
"Rainbow Bridge".
Just this side of heaven is a
place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially
close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows
and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and
comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health
and vigour. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again,
just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The
animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss
someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops
and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body
quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green
grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet,
you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy
kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and
you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from
your life but never absent from your heart.
