Marcy,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter at this difficult time. I don't know if you remember me; I was a friend of Curtis' in high school and lived across the street from you both on Capen Street. I remember him being such a proud - and nervous - dad (remember the video baby monitor?). The last time I saw Curtis was a few years ago; he brought Nadina by to show her the house and neighborhood that she first lived in and he stopped to say hello. I am so sorry to hear of his death. I just found out last night and still cannot believe it. I can still hear his laughter. He was a great guy. He will be missed.
