Curtis aka "Pap" and MY Uncle Brother was the best. God used him in my life from the time I was born until he transitioned to his heavenly home. Yes, I miss him terribly and I know that I will heal from this tragedy. I hold onto the sweet memories of growing up with a smart, well-mannered, kind, wonderful funny Man of God. Ruby was my classmate, best friend, advisor, and of course became my relative. Those two were inseparable from grade school to their eternal home. When I think of her, I see her beautiful smile. They were both very caring people and loved everyone. Glory to God for their lives on earth.

I was one of Ruby's computer science student at CPCC. She was a mentor and inspiration that put me on the path to success. Ruby was kind, intelligent, funny, and had a beautiful smile. She cared about her students and the people around her. A very special person who brought joy into this world. She will be missed...
