Mrs. Curry, Mike, Tim and family.

I want to thank you all for being family to Fred and me. Mrs. Curry you are a loving mother and Mr. Curry was a very industrious father. I can remember sunny days where Mike, Tim, Fred and me played in the back yard while Mr. Curry worked on his wood products. I also loved to hear Mr. Curry sing in the Male Chorus. I have many fond memories of Mr. Curry too numerous to list in this small space.
Mrs. Curry and family, if we remember those happy times we will always keep Mr. Curry in our hearts and minds. We love you all very much. You have our deepest sympathy.

Love,
Andre', Philana, and the kids.

To Juanita:

Although I was very saddened to hear of the passing of your husband, I do take comfort in knowing that God is a Master Sustainer. I know that He will be with you, and He will take care of you.

Remember...

If you should feel discouraged,
And don't know what to do;
Remember: Jesus loves you,
And He will see you through.

If you are heavy laden,
Or feel you're on your own,
Remember: God won't leave you,
He promised-- never alone.

So if your grief and sorrow,
Become too much to bear;
Remember: Call on Jesus--
Remember: He'll be there!

God bless you, Juanita!

I am so sorry about Mr. Curry's death. My thoughts, love and prayers are with all of you. I know he was a very devoted father and husband. The Judge and I first met him at GSU watching Michael play basketball. I don't think he missed a game - a very ardent fan. We were blessed to get to know all the family while Michael and Tim were at GSU. Mr. Curry will be missed. God bless you all!
