Curt,
I can't believe it's been a year since you've been gone. Words can't explain how much I am missing you. You have crossed my mine and thoughts of you have just put a smile on my face so many times throughout this year. I can't tell you how many times I think about our last time together. I wish things could have ended different for us. Curt I know you are living on in the sky so until we meet again I LOVE YOU

Curt I am having a hard time dealing with the fact that you are really gone. I will never forget the day that I met you in the halls of Brookhaven. Man I don't know what I will miss most the smile the walk or the laugh. Curt I just miss you so much right now. I just keep thinking of how much you loved your family and how much your daughter meant to you. I have enjoyed the years that you were in my life and all of the meaningful talks we had together you will always be LOVED and never be forgotten. Love DREA

God said you were getting weary,so he did what he thought best, he came and stood beside you and whispered,"come and rest", you bade no one a last farewell, not even a goodbye, you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why!
