To the Coulson family, please receive our deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. We remember her as such a good neighbor and friend to our mother Dorothy Baxter. Robby and I always were touched by her cards celebrating our wedding anniversary year after year. She had been so interested when the two of us married in Africa in 1969 and she always remembered. We will also always remember.
