What a sense of relief and happiness! To find the perfect resting place for my beloved. I am grateful to Better Place Forests for the opportunity to have this be a living memorial to Lisa.

I have great peace knowing that wherever I travel in this life, the roads will safely return me here to the Lake Arrowhead Forest and my beloved CA.  I’ll forever dance on top of the mountain.
