Daryl and Renee Culp

Jay and Terry, David and Gail, Butch and Karen, Sandy and Steve and Catherine: Renee and I and I'm sure the rest of the Culp family just wanted to say how sorry we were when we heard about your mom. Whenever we got together in Buffalo or in Florida, we always had a good time; there was always lots of fun and laughter. A cute memory: At Jay's graduation from Optometry School, your mom was thanking us for taking care of Jay and when we got back to Miami, she had sent us a card with postage stamps in it as a thank you. We thought that was so cute. Just wanted you all to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and the whole family at this sad time. Take care. Love Daryl and Renee

I am so glad that I had the chance to visit Shirley when I was visiting Buffalo in June. I wish I could be there during this sorrowful time & pay my respects but I just wanted you all to know that she was always special to me and will be missed.
