So many happy memories of you and Gordon in Wyoming - going to the Natural Corral and out to dinner. Les and I will miss you.

Karen and I have very fond memories of time spent with Bobbie and Gordon in Wyoming. They shared our same love of that country's landscape, bright blue skies and family ties. Her gardens and their home in Ralston always reflected Bobbie's warmth and beauty. We shall miss her very much.
