Oh daddy how I wish I could go back to Monday. If I knew that would’ve been the last time I would’ve seen you and got a one last hug again I would do things all over again. But daddy I’m doing my best to stay strong for momma and giving you the home going celebration of your life. I know you are here with us so that helps me, but it’s so hard on all of us we miss you so much daddy and until we meet again remember I love you. I know you waiting for all us so we can be together again.

My dear Big brother, It is hard to believe that you are gone. I thank you for all the love and support you gave me as we grew up. I love you with all my heart. I will keep you in my heart until we meet again. Prayers and love to Ruby and your family.

Uncle Curtis had a gift. No matter how you were feeling he could make you laugh or at least smile. His laugh was contagious and the stories he told were the absolute best. I remember how he and my dad would talk on the phone for what seemed like hours. I'll never forget how happy my dad was talking and laughing with him. He will be truly missed by all who were lucky enough to know him. My deepest sympathies to his family. Love to you all......
