Dear Jenn and Wendy,
The passing of Jack was a very sad thing. I remember him including Jeff when he needed a dad figure taking all the kids to the Patriots game and also they all had a great time on those camping trips. I also had the pleasure of vacationing with him on the Cape. He was a true friend and always laughing and enjoying himself. I will truly miss him. My best to the two of you in the times ahead.

Love, Diane Imhof

Jenn, Wendy and the Curtin Family; Over the years I have watched you grow and was always happy that you knew me and made my life richer for knowing you, coaching you and knowing your immediate family. You have seen more deaths than you should have, but know that your dad loved you and will always be with you, just as John has been there for you in the good and bad times. My deepest condolences are with you and pray that you will find peace with the losses that you have faced at such a young age. May God Bless you both and the entire Curtin family.

Dear Jenn, We were so sorry to hear about your Dad passing away. Our hearts go out to you and your Mom. Your Dad was always welcoming, generous and fun with Nathaniel. Through Nathaniel's stories and yours, we knew how much your Dad enjoyed being with you, loved you and taking care of you. I remember your car needed some brakes and you said, "Oh don't worry, Debbie, my Dad will take care of it. And he did. He always made sure he was there for you Jenn. Or how he made it fun to stand in line for 7-8 hours for that reality show audition. Nathaniel and you went with him. Nathaniel came back saying how fun it was being with your Dad. He was always kind to Nathaniel and we appreciated that so. But more importantly, you were his beloved daughter. God bless you honey and may your Dad rest in peace. Love, Debbie & Donald
