I haven't seen Curtis for sometime but my memories of him will always be of his HUGE boyish smile & blonde hair.  He was like sunshine with legs - always beaming.  He loved going to church & hanging out with the older teens.
I imagine Curtis is before the throne of God right now experiencing a love that surpasses all understanding & looking up at Him & flashing that HUGE boyish smile.
May God comfort you Paula, Mark & family.  We are sorry for your loss.
