The Coulter name has been a source of love, friendship, wisdom, and service towards us. We are saddened to see a stalwart of the Coulter generation pass away, but grateful for the legacy still behind. Comfort and peace to Nathan Winslow Coulter and his cousins at this time. May the joy and values they were taught continue for many more generations to come.

Mary Fae - Our hearts and prayers
go out to you at this time. I can
relate since my mother passed away
two years ago one month before she
was to be 100. We are never ready
for this.
