Sarah, your Friends in Potomac Highland Farms were so sad to hear about Curtis. We want you to know you are in our prayers. Please feel free to ask if we can do anything for you.
I can still see Curtis out there on the mower with that Woodland Grouse-(Henny Penny) chasing him for hours. What fond memories we will always have.
God Bless...

I am very sad for Sarah and the rest of us who will miss Curtis so much. But I am very happy for Curtis. "Absent from the body, in the presence of the Lord" is the promise for those who have accepted Christ. I can only be conforted when I imagine Curtis's joy today. As for memories of Curtis -- he and Sarah have been the best of friends to my husband Artie. When Artie was alone in life they always made sure he wasn't alone. No small kindness, that effort, and so very appreciated, valued and remembered by Artie. I think about all of the acts of friendship by Curtis that Artie has told me about. There are few really loyal friends in this life. Curtis and Artie had that kind of friendship. They would have done anything for each other. I will also remember how, as the "outside" Curtis weakened, the "inside" Curtis grew stronger and stronger. We've lost a dear friend. We love you, Sarah. Remember you can call us anytime for anything.

Curtis was the kind of person anyone would be lucky to have as a friend. I was one of those lucky people. I will miss him greatly and I will never forget him. Goodbye my friend - until we meet again.

To the Evans Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I know words cannot express how you may be feeling at this time but we can be comforted in knowing that Curtis is in the loving arms of our Savior Jesus Christ and is healed of all infirmities. I loved Curtis's positive attitude and cheerfulness everytime I saw him.
Love in Christ
