As kids, we played and had so much fun! Me, you and Jackie. We never ever fought or had an argument. You never told on me, and I never told on you! I will never forget how kind you were to me throughout the years. When I saw you in Krogers, you wanted to invite me over for dinner, how selfish of me, I should have been cooking you dinner! I was in denial, I just loved your cooking. I will forever cherish the fun memories. I will see you again...Love you!

My darling cousin Faye, I still can't believe that you are no longer on this side of the world. Your smile will remain in my heart. I will miss our long talks and your words of encouragements that always gave me. I will continue to make you proud. Thank you for believing in me. That meant the world to me. You will be missed but you will live forever in my heart.

Love always, save me a seat up there. Kiss my granny, aunties and My Husband. I miss all of you all so much.

The Laughter and Joy you brought to your Uncle and family Therefore words just cannot express my Love for you and the joy you gave to me while I was there and I may not understand why you left so soon But you are far more precious than any ruby or diamond or saphire, and the Gem that God you from is far more priceless that any money you can get from this world!

To the family,your beloved Cassandra F. Curtis is now At peace. I know that you will miss her,it's so hard to let go of what you all have shared in the life of such a wonerful person. Always remember to be absent from the body, is now present with the lord. Keep her whity spirit and her smiling face close in your hearts.She is gone from this earth but she will always be present in our memory. You will find yourself asking one another remember when she did or said!!! Praise God for all things your hearts are sadden now but in time God will lift every bowed down head and broken heart. I'm trusting God for your healing hearts.
