Frieda and family, I was very sorry to hear about Dale's passing. It is my understanding that a memorial service will be this Sat. at 2PM at the Yucca Valley Religious Science Church? Please know that your friends from Unity Church are thinking of you at this sad time.
It has been a while since we last talked or even seen each other Dale. However, we will always remember your quiet nature and friendly spirit. Myself, my mom, and sister pray for you and your entire family. You and Frieda really know how to live life and enjoy the beautiful nature around us that most of us take for granted. I don't know anyone like you two who get up every morning to enjoy the sunrise and the beauty of the morning. You will be missed.
Celebrating a life well spent is a privilege for the living to the memory of those who pass beyond this life. Although I knew Dale for such a short time, just a few years, he was a welcome member to our family. A pleasure to Frieda, his wife and spiritual partner, and well accepted by here children. We will miss his ever close presence but he will always be near and remembered by his loved ones. God bless his eternal reward of happiness.

It is easily known to the Shultz family that Grandpa Dale was a wonderful extension to our family. Although I never knew him personally, he showed his kindness through his personality and placation through his actions. What I do realize is that he was the only grandfather I clearly remembers with my eyes and understood with my ears. When Natasha told me that he passed away on Friday evening, I didn’t believe her. While I stared at her dumbfounded for what seemed like a millennium, countless things went through my mind “I just saw him a couple of months ago,” I thought, “That’s impossible.” I still don’t understand the cause of his death, but I know now that’s not what matters. Every hour, minute, and second that we had all been allowed to spend with him was precious. I thank God immensely for the time he was here on Earth and that, though we are all suffering, we learned through this ordeal that life should be cherished and that we need to stop taking things for granted and praise the Lord that the people we love are still amongst us today.
Love from your niece, granddaughter and cousin, Naomi Shultz
Much love, the Buendia Laysa Family

The first picture of Dale sitting among the wildflowers reminds us of the last time we were out with Dale and Freida in Wonder Valley enjoying nature and the panorama of wild flowers. It was such a special day. Dale and Freida were our hiking buddies. It was such a shock when we returned from Utah to see Dale in the Continuing Care Facility. We will miss Dale very much, but know he will always be with us in spirit when we go on our hikes. He was, and still is, our hiking buddy.

Dear Frieda and Family,

Dale was a kind and caring man and a wonderful companion to Frieda. Just one glance in his direction and one could tell that he was a man with a gentle soul and a wonderful character. He certainly will be missed by all those with whom he came in contact.
