Today is 1 year since Kurt's passing. For those who's lives he's touched he'll be forever in our hearts. Peppermint tea, cinnamon toast waffles, and his big warm hugs will always remind me of Kurt. He knew he was loved so deeply and will always continue to be loved. He'll be forever in my prayers .........

Dear Webster Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Kurt gave me a ride home from play practice with Mark a couple of times. I sat with him a few times on the bus. He was always very nice to me. May he rest in God's peace.

Hey Kurt,
Last year was so much fun in Photography and Geometry. I still remeber all your jokes. I wish you were still here. You always put a smile on people's faces. Always had a joke to get the entire class laughing. You had to be one of the nicest people i have ever met. I'm glad i met you. Rest in peace, Kurt.

It is difficult to find the words that express both sorrow and comfort. Your loss is extreme, but you can take solace in the joy and pride Kurt brought the whole family for seventeen years. Our prayers and condolances are with you.

I know that Kurts family did not know me, but I would like to express my feelings of sorrow. I went to middle school with Kurt and him and only a few other people excepted me for me and I wish I could have said thank you to him. I've always loved that boy and always will.

Words cannot express the sorrow I feel. As a young child Kurt had such an energy for life. He was so loving and huggable. Kurt loved to sing, play video games, swim, watch Spongebob, collect things, and spend time with his friends. He adored Sarah and was always attentive to her. He chose crystal ornaments for my Christmas tree which I have always cherished. The time I shared with Mark, Kurt & Sarah were some of the best times of my life. I pray for your family at this time of great loss........
