As a little girl my uncle Dale and aunt Linda were a very special part of my life. Dance recitals, birthdays, proms, and my wedding…all things they were there for. I have many memories I will cherish in my heart forever. Once I found out his name was ‘Furman’ I started calling him that,it made me feel it was something special just I called him. Today I looked through pictures and watched home movies and although many tears were shed, I also smiled a lot. Rest in peace Uncle Furman… I know that heart is beating strong

Life is but a stopping place, a pause in whats to be. A resting place along the road, to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, different paths along the way. We all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay. Our destination is a place, far greater than we know. For some the journeys quicker and for some the journeys slow. When the journey finally ends,we will claim a great reward, and find everlasting peace. Together with the Lord
Linda and family,I will miss my big tall cousin. His hugs made me remember my fathers big chest. I will be thinking of you and the love you had with him. I loved the visits we had and the laughter we shared. I dearly loved his Mother Ruth and her Mom my Aunt Lavada Crawford Conner. Our family had a lot of very close blood. God Bless you , Sonja

Our thoughts and love are with Dale’s wife Linda Jean. Also to family and friends.
