Pop's I will miss you forever in the flesh, but I know your spirit remains with us. I talk abou you constantly and think about you even more. I continue to be amazed @ how many people you touched while you were on the planet, and feel proud to say I am your son whenever someone approaches me; to tell me how much you impacted them (some of whom I don't even know). I will make you as proud of me as I am of you! RIP...

Dear Jean, Sharon, Nat and Jeffrey,

The sudden passing of Curtis was a great shock to us, and it is very difficult to find words to express our sorrow.

This loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and brother-in-law, was our friend and we thank God for the life, love, and friendship we shared for 60+ years.

We find comfort in the knowledge that Curtis is living in the hearts and minds of everyone who loved and knew him, and he is now resting in the arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Please know if there is ever a need, we are just a phone call away.

God bless and keep you and your entire family in this, your hour of sorrow.

Love,
Justin & Bea Wyatt and Family

"Missing you"

Looking across the street in the morning/evening to see if you have left or returned from your daily schedule of work was my routine. I still continue to look for you, but until I see you again take care.

Lovingly Submitted!
Your Daughter.

To The Entire & Extended Black Family,

My prayers are with you all at this difficult time. There are not enough words to compose the feelings of emptiness we all share.
Let us all find comfort in believing "That Earth has no Sorrow,that Heaven can not Heal.
I know within my heart that Aunt Baby-Sis, Uncle Raymond & Jr. are rejoicing and now have everlasting peace, the kind that surpasses all understanding. And on that glorious day when the trumpet sounds we too, will reunite joyfully in Heaven where all of our departed loved ones patiently await us.

Much Love to you all,
Ms. Jean, Sharon, Nat, & Jeff
Keep your heads up,Look to the Lord,Be encouraged you all will find strength & comfort there.

Sincerely

Jean, Sharon, Curtis and Jeffrey,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and all of your family. I just found out today and will not be able to make the services. I pray for strength, comfort and peace for all of you. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Curtis was a wonderful man, who always greeted me and my family with a smile. He will be missed.

With all the people coming and going, the phone calls and conversations, I thought it best to let you rest as much as possible. By no means were you forgotten, I will see you at the services. You are the strength of your family with the support of your children, siblings and all your crazy friends. Don't hesitate to call on us when in need. Remember the good and happy times, put a smile on your face.

Love you
James

My Family,
I met Uncle Curtis and Aunt Jean when I was a very young girl. Aunt Jean and my Mom worked together at The Department of Agriculture and our families became very close. I have such fond memories of our families spending weekends together, which is a part of beautiful memories of my great childhood. Uncle Curtis used to love to hear myself and Sharon sing…The Supremes had nothing on us (smile); it was all so much fun. Although as we have gotten older, we do not see each other as much, the love in our hearts is always there. My heartfelt condolences goes out to my Aunt Jean, my cousins; Sharon, Nat and Jeff. I love you all and will keep you all in prayer.
