Grandfather Gary Weller has tears in his eyes after attaching mementos to Marica Weller’s roadside cross.

Darla Weller, left, attaches a memento to her daughter Marica’s white cross on Montana 35. On the right are Rita Leeseberg and Gary Weller. Marica Weller died when she was struck by a vehicle while she was walking across the highway on Oct. 15. Darla Weller said she hopes the street light at the intersection of Montana 35 and Shady Lane would flash red instead of yellow all night long to keep drivers aware of pedestrians in the area.
