I was shocked when I received the news of Curts passing. I think he was one of the most caring men. He would come into my room at work and we had many talks. As well as he would stop and get us breakfast at times. He was fun to be around and it was beyond wonderful to see the relationship he and Donna shared. He was a wild man when you got him on a horse. I know he will be missed greatly and I am sure Donna will have all the support from family and friends that she so needs right now. You are in my prayers Donna as well as your children. Take one day at a time. If you need to cry, then cry. You were together for many years and that love will never leave you.
