"I am so sorry to hear about Dial. I was a classmate of hers at Cornell College. I am greatly saddened by her passing. She was very kind and giving. She recognized when people had a passion for something and encouraged them to succeed. Mostly, I remember seeing her in Bowman Hall and laughing about something that happened. She was a joy to be around and even though I did not see her after graduation I thought about her and rejoiced when I read in the Cornell Report she had a career in Washington DC. I hoped one of her dreams she was passionate about came true. I will miss her."
In loving memory of
Dial Dickey
