My thoughts are with your family. I have had the honor of knowing Curtis and if she was as wonderful as him than she was perfect.

Strength and honor were her clothing...she looked well unto the ways of her household.. her children arose and called her blessed. She was a true virtuous woman. I will miss her dearly. She was a great inspiration to me spiritually and naturally, she was my HERO! We have lost a great warrior. She fought a good fight, she finished her course, she Kept the Faith. NOW there is laid up for her a crown of righteousness which the LORD shall give her. To the family: be strong in the Lord, let him comfort you and give you peace. My prayers are with you all. Love you Much.
