To Bob, Randy and Danny and families, There are too many memories to share. I recall I could never let mom put on my shoes after I saw Nadine gardening with her shoes off when you lived in Shawnee, KS. And all the camping trips to Roaring River after all of you moved to Farmington. Listening to all the stories around the campfire. I wish I could be there to celebrate her life. Much Love to all of you,
Gwen Carver - Friend
I will always think back at having the pleasure of doing all those herd checks with her and Randy. We worked hard and had a lot of fun, also. May the family have our deepest condolences! Doc & Miss Kim
