Dear Schatzie,
I am sorry to hear of your biological father's passing. I am sure that the other sibiling are completely distraught over his passing, but I am sure that they are planning ambitious ways to handle their new found windfall. I however know that Rich will do what he has always had to do and pick up the Curry pieces. Just like the past 24 years I will always be your sister, because in this case water is stronger than blood. God Bless You and the boys, you deserve all that life has to offer.

Dear Jim & Family,
Your dad was a great man who always took the time to stop and say hello when he saw you on the street. He was always happy and smiling and that's the way he will be remembered.
All our heartfelt prayers go out to you all.
With Love,
Connie Lewis & Family
