I'll never forget the time YRB and I go over to Dales to have a few and she just starts giving me the hardest time. We laughed, and then fast forward to Dale & Amys wedding where I got the pleasure to share a dance with her. Rest in peace love! https://t.co/qdcrZgp3WI
So was she ever married to DE Sr. or what? They way y’all are wording this is really weird 🧐🤔
That's the stupidest most tone-deaf thing you could say. So sorry to hear.
REST IN PEACE.🙏
. Thoughts to the kids for their loss .
My heart and prayers go out to Dale Jr. and his sister Kelly
Very 😞
