During her many traveling adventures both with her co conspirator, her husband and then as a sole wild spirit on her own she continued to travel each winter to the RV in Gulf Shores, Alabama.

Crossing the Bar Sunset and evening star, and one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I shall now  see my Pilot (Everett) and seaman (Andy) face to face when I have crossed the bar.

 "The crew is now small, but the Captain (Everett), the First mate (Marg) seaman (Andy) are gone but will  not be forgotten"

We will miss you much, may this next adventure find you peace and absence of pain.
