To the Culotta Family.

As you go through life you meet a lot of people, but few leave a lasting impression. I am honoured to know the Culotta family. Mrs. Culotta will always hold a special place in my heart. The Hinch and Culotta families have known each other for years and always had a wonderful time when we got together.

I have the utmost respect for Dr. Vic Culotta and I thank you for letting us share in your 60th Wedding Anniversary for you truly showed us what wedding vows mean. You are an inspiration.

I feel as though another piece of my childhood is gone, but I know there is a place in heaven for the good people and I know you are there.

Thank you Mrs.Culotta for the memories, for being a wonderful neighbour and friend.

Gone, but never forgotten

In Deepest Sympathy,
