Dale & Natalie,

Although I've known you two for over 40 years I never had the pleasure of meeting Dale's mom. But knowing Dale I knew she had to be a very loving & special lady. Since we didn't get to come to the sevices I was very pleased to see the online video. What a wonderful way to show your mom & the wonderful life she lived. After watching it I felt like I had met your mom & the family she loved so dearly. Your mom & you will be in our thoughts & prayers.

Your friend,

Don Ames

Mrs. Hallmark, you lived a great 93 years, you lived next door to me my entire life, and were the best next door neighbor that I have ever had. I will always remember when you would squirt me, Paige Talbert, Ethan Howard, Larielle Badon and Logan Talbert with the water hose jokingly when we rode our bikes by and being happy to receive pennies from you at Halloween. You will be missed, and nobody will forget your spunkiness: directing the lawn care service to how to mow your grass and just a couple of months ago dragging limbs to the side of the road. I will miss waving goodbye to you in the afternoons on saturdays, and our short, but meaningful conversations over the fence. I will miss you, and never forget you for the rest of my life.

Oh the memories this family has of this dear sweet German lady. The stories she told of growing up and the things she did. She mowed her own grass until she was in her late 80s, and could still be seen picking up the limbs in her yard. She talked fondly of her two pets, long gone, Shotzy I and II. Oh the homemade pies and cakes she would bring over to us. Our many talks at the fence in the evening. She will be greatly missed and thought of often. Our prayers go out to her family. We will miss you, Leona - but you are in the arms of God now and with you beloved Al.
