    May Mobley was a perfect example on how to grow flowers and a garden. She was a good mother, always happy and had a fun personality. I will be forever in her debt for the love she gave and the skills she taught and shared. May was an extraordinary woman, a real pioneer. She will live on in my memories.

    I remember when May came to live with us about 1935 when we were at Scenery Gulch Ranch. In 1937 Dad, Verne Caldwell, purchased a house in Meeker so we could be close to the schools, and also because my Aunt Eva Crawford would be staying with us and teaching the 4th grade class in Meeker. I also remember when Zandy came to Dad asking for May’s hand in marriage. His answer was: “When she turns 18 and graduates from high school”!! Later years as I would pass through Meeker, May’s home was the one stop I always made. She was very special to me through many years.
