Dear Ruth and Family:
I was so saddened to hear about Uncle Dalt’s passing yesterday. I wish you and your family peace and healing at this difficult time of loss.
I loved Uncle Dalt very much and I will always remember him as a “gentle giant.” He has left me with an invaluable sense of history of the Flatt family, and such a feeling of pride that I was lucky enough to be his niece. He was truly one-of-a-kind.
Love , Julie
Sandra
RIP Grandpa. We will all miss you. Love Sandra, RJ, Ryan, and Brandon.
