"Dearest Sally, As I passed your house today I remembered with delight the many times we crossed paths as you walked the neighborhood and I walked the dog. The many small exchanges that brightened those moments add up to a glowing memory of your kindness and good humor. I miss you already; all your neighbors do. Go in peace. Mary Berryman Agard"
In loving memory of
Marcella Emma Culp
August 7, 1929 - April 16, 2017
