Chris, Mike & Family,
We are saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Will and our thoughts and prayers go to the entire family. We will surely miss his presence down at the shore. We're sure he is sitting on God's pier fishing in heaven.

Our deepest sympathies are extended to the entire Curtian family especially the surviving children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and to Uncle Al, Uncle Lester and Uncle Clifford.

We still remember running around and playing and visiting with you all in the brightly colored house on Daisy Ave. We always thought how wonderful it was to be a part of such a large loving family. While all families have some difficulties, Uncle Willie was blessed to have all of you in his life to care for and love him.

Please accept our sincerest condolences! You are all in our thoughts and prayers as you travel through this difficult time in your lives.

To Steve & Family,
Butch and I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to you and your family. We know how tough it is to go through this - especially through the holidays. My Dad passed away awhile ago on the day after Christmas. Thoughts & prayers are with you during this difficult time.

His struggles are now over and he can be at peace. Hoping you can find the peace in knowing he had a good life and wonderful children.

I know it isn't easy but it does get better as time goes on. Keeping the happy memories alive is very important.

Love, Carol
