One of Norma and Carl's favorite pastimes was their annual winter getaway to Texas and summers in South Dakota where they embraced their love for horseback riding, camping, and trail riding with their beloved mules. Their travels together were filled with joy and shared adventures, and the memories created during those trips will be treasured by all who knew them. Norma had a special place in her heart for her animals, especially her loyal companion, Teddy.
