Ernest,
Just wanted you to know that your mom
was a great person. She taught me a lot and we had fun together. She did not pass up too many invitations to go out and have fun and she liked going to
Church. She was always willing to give a helping hand in any way that she could. Ernest I know that you will
be fine because you take after your
mom---strong and full of faith.
Love,

I will never forget how she took me under her wing one year at the Senior Convention that was held at the Steven
Kent Hotel, I was so happy to see her for I knew nobody else there.

To The Family of Mrs. Curley

I will truly miss your Mom, she always had a smile on her face no matter how she felt. She loved coming to the 7:30 services at MOBC, and to our Usher celebrations. Mrs. Curley will be greatly missed, now she is enjoying her new home, the mansion Jesus has prepared for her in heaven. One day we will be reunited. Family remember always God is right there beside you, He will see you through this, you are in my prayers, God Bless.
