One of our special memories is when we visited you on trip to your cabin. We were going to “Bishops Castle” and on the way we stopped at a stream where we put our feet into the cold water. Dorothy was well prepared as she carried towels to dry off our wet feet! The services were very nice, Rev. Leslie did a wonderful job helping us all to “Re-live” her life. I learned new things about both of you that I did not know. The cemetery is a very peaceful place I know you will be able to go and visit from time to time to help you find comfort and peace. Our love and sympathy to all of you and your families! Love- Mike, Cindy, Rachel, & Ruth Bobbitt
