Dear Kurt,
When I first heard u passed away I cried myself to sleep for days. But talking about it has helped. My mom said that her grandma used to say that "Now God has another jewel in heaven" I guess he needed you more than we did. I miss you with all my heart and there will never be anyone as sweet and wonderful as you were.
Love,
Kristen

Kurt and me were friends years ago. Then him and my sister dated and from what I understand came close to marriage. I remember that Kurt was always easy to talk to and always had a way to brighten anyone's day. I will miss him very much for probably a very long time! When I'd first heard about his death I was shocked very much!!! I cried for a while but now my tears are done because I know a great man like him will certainly be in heaven for me to see again someday!

words can only express how we all feel/felt about Kurt and I know that hearing Im sorry doesn't really help. I don't know really what to say to you. Art although I never got a chance to meet you I still would like to express my apologies and Kathy (mom) if theres anything that you need or if you just want me to come by please feel free to call me and know that I am always here for you!
I love you!!

when god calls his children to dwell with him above

we mortals sometimes question the wisdom of his love

for no heartache compares with the death of one so close

who does so much, our world seems wonderful and mild

perhaps god tires of calling the aged into his fold

so he picks a rose before it can grow too old

god knows how much we need them

and so he takes but just a few

to make the land of heaven

more beautiful to view

believing this is difficult

still somehow we must try

the saddest word mankind knows

will always be good bye

so when someone so close departs

we who are left behind

must realize god loves his children

angels are hard to find

Rest Peacefully Kurt
Forever you will be missed!!!
