Words can not express how sad I feel. Mr. Currier along with his wife gave me so much. They took in a teenager with a lot of issues and gave me a home and love and compassion. They witnessed to me and told me about God and how Jesus died for my sins. I didn't want to hear it but they didn't stop. They finally sent me to Word Of Life camp in NY and it was there I got saved. they were so happy when they found out that they baked me a birthday cake and wrote on it "Ye must be born again." they treated me like I was their own. I didn't deserve all that they gave me. I fought them at time and still, they never gave up on me. My memories of my time with them is so vivid and clear. I love them both so much. because they allowed God to use them, I got saved and have Christ in my life and a future home in heaven. Because Mr. Currier cried for me the day I was refusing to go to WOL camp, I decided to go. My heart is breaking but at the same time I KNOW that I WILL see him again in Heaven. Thank you Mr. And Mrs. Currier, I love you!!

Praying for the entire family as they travel and share their grief at his 'graduation to heaven'. We grieve not as those that have no hope but we do grieve!
I understand.
