Sirlena,
We love you and will be there for you whenever you need us. Curtis was the "quietiest" Worthy ever! That is a very hard task too! I could always find him chilling in the corner away from all of the noise at the family dinners. I would be right there with him myself-smile. Take comfort in knowing that you have the most beautiful grandaughters ever ! They will help you through this more than you will ever know. Especially your "little helper" Shamira.

Love John,Gina and the boys

Dear Sirlena,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Elijah and I will miss Curt also. I will miss our serious conversations that I had with Curt. Curt was a wonderful person. He loved you very much. And he loved his nieces very much. I will miss him coming over to visit me and Elijah. If you ever want to talk, just write me or stop by. I will be here for you. I feel your pain.

Sirlena,
You, I and Curtis spent many days talking about life issues in general. He will be missed. He was a very loving and respectful young man. We know that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot bear. When you can't find strength in friends look to the Lord. When you can't find strength in family look to the Lord. I know it seems hard right now but in time you will find strength. You and I have always been more like sisters than cousins and you know I am here for you. I love you and I encourage you to keep the faith.
