The Dennis Dalling 2012 Family Reunion

By -
It was a grand and glorious, bright and beautiful, Dennis Dalling Family Reunion at the Eagle Creek Overlook on the beautiful Columbia River over the Labor Day weekend. The group picture leaves me wishing we could rotate and have every family in front, but we do have some individual family group pictures for each of our six kids. I will email them separately, It was wonderful and rare to have all of our children together at one time. We now have over 80 descendants and spouses and over 50 were in attendance for all or part of the 5 day gathering! We are already looking forward to next year! The bonds of love we felt reminds us that at the end, if you do not have family, you really do not have anything!

I know there are many wonderful pictures that were taken by many cameras, if you have some you would like to share send them to me or post them on Facebook. I have a vague plan to develop my website: dalling.org; Jamie gave me some advice and as soon as I can translate it, we may have a common medium to communicate pictures and blogs. Katie D: see if your group pictures are better than mine and send them over!

We give a special thank you to Barry W and Janet D for planning and preparing most of the food, it was five star meals in a five star setting! We hope all of you are home safe and well and feel rewarded for your investment in time and treasure to gather together.We know some who could not attend would have been there if it were possible; you were missed!

DENNIS AND RAMONA’S LOVE STORY          FOREWORD As we review the fascinating journey of this thing we call “our life,” it is abundantly clear that we have not come this far alone. We stand on the shoulders of so many wonderful family members, both ancestors and present-day, friends and associates, church leaders and teachers, that we are overwhelmed with our gratitude and sense of humility! These threads have become virtual bonds in all directions, vertical and horizontal, and have linked us together, inextricably, forever! The late Pres. Gordon B Hinckley, our hero, profoundly reminisced about his three generations of ancestors father, grandfathers, great grandfathers, and three generations of descendants: children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren., He then said “I suddenly realized that I  stood right in the middle of these seven generations – three before me and three after.…there passed through my mind a sense ...

2017 Christmas Greetings from Dennis and Ramona Dalling

By Anonymous -
2017 Christmas Greetings from Dennis and Ramona Dalling For so many wonderful Christmas seasons, we have paused to reflect on the blessings and challenges of the past year, and then, in a Christmas letter, have conveyed our love and gratitude to our Savior and to the angels that He has sent into our lives in the form of family and friends. We have a large binder filled with copies of our Christmas letters sent over the years, dating back more than 50 years. With a few changes in names, dates, and places, we could resend most any letter! Births, marriages, deaths, tragedies and triumphs, just seem to regularly recur through the years, but that is the joy of life, always seeming to be more bright and beautiful as we celebrate another Christmas. I even have file folders with cards and letters that we have received through the years, but we treasure every precious little missive we receive! Early this year, we carefully plann...

2016 Merry Christmas from Ramona and Dennis Dalling

By Anonymous -
Merry Christmas 2016 from Ramona and Dennis Dalling Our hearts and thoughts are turned to our dear family and friends this happy Christmas season, as always. We hope your lives are filled with the joy and happiness that Christmas brings! We do know there is much sorrow in so many lives this year, as we have said goodbye to too many family and friends. That is the price we pay for living so long! We are so grateful for the gift of eternal life evoked as we celebrate the birthday of the Christ. It has been another wonderful year for Ramona and me, as we have traveled and visited so many wonderful family and friends and places! We had a delightful trip to Fiji for the rededication of the temple, just in time for the worst cyclone in their history! But, the temple was spared, as were the General Authorities including Pres Eyring, and the temple is now serving those wonderful people again! We loved reconnecting with so many ...
