Dear Jennifer,
Our hearts and prayers are with you, your family and your beautiful Saint Francis therapy dog, Max.
I first met you and Curtis separately many years ago and I was delighted when two of the nicest, most genuine people got together. You have brought great love and many blessings to one another. Yet, together, the two of you have accomplished so much to help countless people -- especially those with disabilities. Anyone who ever met you and Curtis felt the powerful bond between you. That love has resonated in the hearts of others and has reverberated throughout our community.
Curtis was a bright and shining spirit. He will be remembered for his ready smile, eagerness to help, and easy going nature. To Curtis, everyone was a friend. Everyone deserved to be treated with respect and dignity. Certainly, everyone he met was quickly given the assurance that he was in their court if they ever needed anything.
Should any one of us who knew and loved Curtis -- who felt blessed to be around this kind man -- wonder why he was called home so early? I believe he must have fulfilled his role here and has important work to be done on a higher realm. Today and always, we can cheer him on and thank him for all he did while here with us.
Doug and I look forward to doing just that, at the memorial celebration of his life this afternoon. We look forward to seeing the faces of many of the people Curtis touched and we will feel united in spirit as we say our good-byes.
May God Bless you and your family and may you each feel the love of all your friends surrounding you today and always.
With love, prayers, and appreciation for your friendship,
Carol, Doug & "Griffin"

To the Walker Family,
I am very sorry for your loss. Curtis was a wonderful man with a beautiful heart. He stood up for what he believed in and I always admired him for doing so. He has touched so many lives in so many ways through the years. I will miss his passion and determination in helping others in our community, but most of all I will miss his smile. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
May God continue to comfort and bless you.

To the Family of Curtis Dean Walker:
It is a blessed event to meet such a gentle soul as was your loved one. He was a gentle man.
I am grateful beyond what I have words to say to have known him on this side of glory. His quiet goodness was rare and beautiful. It is impossible not to grieve such a loss.
While we grieve with you, our prayer is that sometime soon, the pain of his loss will lessen and the memory of your love for him and his for you will fill the hurting places in your hearts--while you wait to see him again, on the other side.
God's promise is true. God be with you 'til we meet again.
Blessings,

Carmen and family;
Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you,
I can only imagine how difficult is must be to watch a loved one fade...but being able to be there, to be able to say goodbye... although it doesn't make it easier, it may provide some closure. I hope you are able to treasure past memories and allow time to heal your heart.

Dear Jenn,
Curtis was an angel while he was here with us. His smile and laughter was ever present, his kindness and empathy was never ending. I am so lucky to have called him my friend for so many years.
Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and Curtis's memory will forever be in my heart.
Love, Kristin

Danielle, I am so sorry about the loss of your father. Whitney just told me today of his passing. I wish I had known sooner so that I could have come pay my respects at the funeral home. Cancer is such a horrible disease and we don't know why God burdens us with it but it was just temporary for your father. His life on Earth was only his passing to a place with no pain and suffering. Please find comfort in knowing that. I do. Love you, Lindsey Lucas Bush

Dear Jen, Carmen, Danielle and Max,
My heart goes out to your family during this difficult time. While I worked with Curtis at BRILC, I was fortunate to keep up with him after I left. If I was having a bad day, he could always make you smile or crack a joke to lift you up. His pictures that he made when he cut and paste were priceless. That is how I will remember him, always smiling and his willingness to help others. He was an asset to BRILC and the community he served. Curtis will be missed but not forgotten. It was a privilage to have known him and to work with him.
Keep the faith, he loved his family so much and was very proud of his daughters. Jen when he spoke of you, he always had a sparkle in his eye and a smile on his face.
Peace to your family.

Jenn,

I am so glad you will have such good memories of your times together. Please know you will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers in the days to come.
All our love,
Jan and Warren

Curtis was my friend and fellow lunch partner for many years. Cutis was always there for someone that was in need and would help in any way he could. We were fellow co-workers at BRILC and worked together on different projects for ten years. I noticed Curtis as a passive and understanding nature and he carried that through his health challenges and his work ethic. I still find it hard to believe he is not longer with us and I will miss him very much!

To the Walker Family,
Curtis was never without a kind thought and word. He was one of the most genuine individuals we have ever met and feel thankful to have known him. Please know that love extends far beyond today and will remain with you always. His influence on your family and ours will never be matched by both his actions and words. With all of our love, Ben, Marci and Polly

To Jenn, Carmen, Danielle, and the rest of the Walker family,
Curtis was one of the most special people I ever met. I had the pleasure of being there when he and Jenn first met and watched the love and respect grow ever stronger through the years. Whenever I visited he made me feel welcome and happy to see me, and not just as Jenn's friend. He had a way of touching everyone he met like that.
While the pain will never go away completely, take comfort in the legacy of love and memories he left behind. He was indeed a special man and will be sorely missed by many.

It was my pleasure and honor to have known Curtis. I did not know him well, but it was always a blessing to see his smiling face every single time I was in his place of employment or at a meeting in the community. He was always willing to help his fellow man and I am sure he will be missed by many, many people. My prayers continue to be with you during this difficult time.

My prayers go out to everyone in the family. We were childhood friends through out school and we lost touch after I had moved. Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling.
