As Bonnie and Russ get Dale into the van they'd borrowed for the ride to the nursing home, Nicolle comforts her grieving sister.




Two days after arriving at the nursing home, Dale's fragile health collapsed. As he<br/>rapidly floated toward death, he was surrounded by his family and a sea of love.




As Dale dies, Nicolle and Bonnie stroke his body and grieve his passing with Russ. Nicolle had whispered to him<br/>"It's OK Dad. You can let go. We are all OK, Dad. We are safe." Bonnie said simply "Goodbye, my love."




At the tree that was his special sanctuary, Dale's celebrants tie ribbons and leaves as part of his memorial service.
