Dale Victor McCormick...The Best Dad A Girl Could Have!!!

Hi Dad!
When I search the Internet for your name, all I get are reports of that awful accident that took your life and your obituary. That is not what I want to come up first anymore. So, I am starting this blog as a way to share my feelings with you and to show anyone who searches the name "Dale Victor McCormick" how loved you are. I want them to know the kind, caring, loving, creative, goofy guy that you were, not just how your life ended. I want them to know that you are a dad who is loved and missed, not just some name on an accident report. This is where I will share my special memories and pictures and love and grief. I love you so very much Dad and I am grateful for every moment I had with you. I am grateful for every smile, every laugh, every hug and every "I love you!" Thank you for being my dad! Thank you for loving me! I love and miss you Dad!
 Love,
 Mary Ann

*There are so many more special things about my dad than just those few simple facts, but the list would get too long to read. I plan to share a lot more about who he was and what he means to all of us throughout this blog so please do follow if you are interested in getting to know my dad and the relationship I had with him.
