"When I think about Aunt Dorothy, I think about the farm where she and Uncle Cleo lived. It was always and adventure to visit the farm. Sometimes we found newborn kittens in the barns. I remember arriving just after a cow delivered a calf in the apple orchard. For a city girl it there was endless excitement and new things to discover every day at the farm. I know visiting Aunt Dorothy was one of my favorite vacations. It was so much fun to return to the farm with my own children. Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Cleo entertained my sons with the same enthusiasm that they had entertained me. Even after Aunt Dorothy moved to town, I looked forward to visiting her. I have been blessed to live my life sheltered by her love."
In loving memory of
Dorothy Marie Schomberg
