Council Bluffs, IA Thursday, December 22, 2016 Im so so sorry to hear of your loss. It is really hard to lose a grandparent. He always had a smile on his face when he would run into Angie's goofy high school friends. He knew we were all a bunch of silly girls. It was always a warm feeling to see Angie's grandparents up in the stands when we played volleyball and basketball. Many prayers and hugs to the family.Creeta Dahl
