Dear Theda,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your children. My favorite memories of Curtis are the days when he and Troy would be working on the church grounds and acting like they were boys again. His constant smile was an encouragment to everyone he met. I have a feeling he's found some new projects and gardens in heaven.

Dear Theda, Lauren, Kyle and Kristen,
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you for peace in this time of sorrow. I have such fond memories of growing up with your family. So many wonderful memories of your Dad...I remember 'Mr. Flournoy' a as quite, caring man who loved Texas A&M. I will never forget his unexpected laugh or his wonderful Texas accent. Warm memories of time spent outside in that huge backyard, Fourth of July fireworks, trips to the lakehouse and him fixing our toys or whatever else we broke! He was a wonderful man. My deepest sympathy.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I remember, so well, when we lived on Avenue L Curtis and a friend coming into our yard by way of the creek. He would have his gun and be hunting birds. I know he had a wonderful life and will be missed by all.
