To Our Loving Son & Brother
It is with deepest sadness our loving son and brother, we write this letter to
you today. The eldest of three children, you have been our rock, our
strength, and a son we could always depend. A son and brother, truly
loved.
You have seen your nieces and nephews, brother and sister grow to the
individuals they are today; always encouraging each of us through our
good and bad times. For this we thank you.
Although you will not be physically present on this earth to see our
grandchildren develop, we will always tell them of their "UNCLE CURTIS",
the "go getter", the one always moving to better himself and the lives of his
family.
Curtis, we never thought we would do such a letter so soon, we just knew in
our hearts you would be leaving the hospital and headed towards a speedy
recovery.
Son, we ask God why? But the truth is; this is His will. We need not
question because He will give us the answer each and every day.
We will cherish the memories of the wonderful life God has given to you.
It is not an easy task to say goodbye to a loving son and brother as you.
Curtis, therefore we will only say, we'll see you in heaven.
Why must 1 bear this pain? I cannot tell; I only know my Lord does all
things well, and so / trust in God my all in all. For He will bring me
through whate'er befall - (Smithj
Your Loving Mother, Daddy, Sister and Brother
