Curt,I could always talk to you about anything at all knowing that I would never be judged. I will miss how you would sing every word to the songs you loved. I will miss your laugh,and our walks in center springs when we were kids.Our "Tangurey and Tonics" I will miss all of it. But I'll always have those great memories. Heather and Melanie loved you the minute they met you. Where ever you are, I hope that you can find the peace that you could'nt find here.
Always your friend,
Love, Kim

Marge, Vicki, Jeff and the Girls, No words could even begin to say enough or reach the depth of love I have for your family. I still think of us, as those kids running the around on those hot summer days making are moms nuts. Or that winter ice storm when we all piled into the living room. In my mind, Curt will always be that skinny little bother making us laugh. Or sitting on steps with his arm around us telling stories and talking about someday when I grow up. All my heart Lynn

Dear Curtis,
You will always be missed. I remember many years ago when I first started visiting Vicki, it was so very special when you were around. Your sense of humor made the time so much more enjoyable. Between you and Vicki, I had much more fun than I should have. As we grew older and moved apart, it was always great to hear about what you were doing and sometimes I would be lucky enough to see you and we'd catch up on each other's lives. You will always be remembered for your wonderful humor, your excitement over something new, the dreams you had and your kindness. I can still hear your laugh. I am very proud to have been your friend. I hope you are at peace now. Take care, sweet Curt.

I met Curt through Autumn and worked with him for a short time. I am sorry to hear of his passing, it always leaves a void when someone you know passes on. He was a good man and is missed.

Marge & Vicki & Family:
Remembering You
Your time on earth seemed all too brief because I wanted you in my life forever.
And although I really miss you,
in my heart I know that you are at peace.
Still, countless times throughout the day I find myself remembering you. Although I cannot see or hear you, I know that you are with me.
I'll feel you in the warmth of the summer sun. I'll see you in the brilliance of autumn leaves.
You'll be beside me in the peacefulness of a gentle snowfall
and rejoice with me at the emergence of the first flowers of spring. I'm thankful for the times we shared and the priceless memories too; for those memories are a comfort now when I lovingly - Remember You.

Dear Begley Family,
I heard of your loss through a mutual friend and was at first sad to hear of your loss. I then had a chance to read through the guest book here and was impressed to see just how many ways and people's lives Curt had touched. I feel honored to have known Curt, both for his sense of humor and his caring manner. I will keep you all in my thoughts during this time of sorrow.

I am so sorry to hear that Curt's gone. I hadn't seen him the past few years, but we kept in touch with the annual card or two. I will miss his wonderful sense of humor, his ability to see right to the heart of the matter. He spoke of family often, loved you deeply. I expect he's at peace now, one with the stars he knew so well.
I'm very sorry for your loss.

To the Begley Family,
My deepest, deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. I haven't seen Curt in a very long time, but we were friends a long time ago, in our youth. He was a very good friend and a great person. He was a very talented creative writer, I remember so many poems he had written back then. I pray God gives you comfort through this difficult time. I know this isn't much comfort but just know someday we will see him again.
Fondly,
Kimberly Joyal Chaudhary

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
