Charlotte, seven months have passed. I hope this finds you well. This is Scott the nurse that cared for Curtis at the hospice. I promised Wendy (and Curtis) that I would remain in touch with her, but I lost her number. Should you happen to see this, tell her my email is scott @ scottrobertsrn.com .I'm glad I got to know you all. Words can't really describe a months long experience like that, but I smile when I think of Curtis and remember him singing to us. I hope your smiles have returned.

Charlotte, I am so sorry I missed the
viewing, but I will certainly remember Curtis. We go waaay back to our teenage years (and I am a bit older than him!) There is nothing I can say about your hope for the future that you don't already know and keep close to your heart. Please know that our love and prayers are with you at this time.

Sorry for your loss Charlotte. Curtis was a great friend, he helped me a lot when I was first baptized. You are both very loving. Looking back, I saw that he really looked after me and Angie, especially when I was single. We thank you both. We are here for you always. We will all see Curtis sooner than you think, Jehovah willing. Hang in there sis. Luv ya.

Wendy, I wish I could say something to give you comfort other than you were always the apple of your Daddy's eye. I pray you will find some comfort knowing your Daddy is at peace. You are in my thougths and prayers.
