When Curt was here we laughed and sometimes we were weary over the same things in our separate households: Our families played together, ate together, traveled together, worshipped together it was our lifetime. The two Cobbs' Crews (The Stephen's Branch)
Although Curtis is gone from us in the natural he remains with us in our hearts. When we come together there will be one less smile; one less story to share, perhaps one less plate at the table but nothing can take from us the memories we have built spending time together.
We feel the sadness that you feel. When Gerald is too quiet we know where his thoughts are. I know there will be many, many stories to be told about the days of their youth; stories about his big brother.
At this conflicting time of sorry and joy, tears and laughter, distress and peace we send much love to each of you from the depths of hearts.
Gerald, Ira and the rest of this Cobbs' crew
from our house to yours.
