Hearing of your loss of Curt, a Nabor roommate for a critical first semester, it had been a few years since we had visited-and always feel there will be another time. Your faith and knowledge of Curt´s faith-and your pleasant memories will give you strength at this time of great loss.

I am just so sorry to hear about Curt. The Harrisons were our neighbors for many years in rural Saybrook, and I have wonderful memories of time spent with them. Curt was such a good man. I know he will be greatly missed. Keeping you all in my prayers. God bless you and hold you close in the palm of His hand.
