It's been 16 years yet the pain and sorrow feels like yesterday. I think of you often and miss you even more. It took us a while but we were just starting to bond. I was just starting to understand me, through you, and God called you home.
I remember you use to say "you can call me somtimes". I would reply " I don't have anything yo talk about". I would give anything to call you right now. I have so much to tell you. I miss you daddy a will forever carry you in my heart. Love you!

Hey,Uncle Curtis,

It's me again, your niece. I just wanted to let you know that I still grieve for you and although more time has passed,the pain I feel is still very new. I still shed tears for the loss of my friend. The memories are so vivid and clear of the times we shared, and memory of your passing, in my mind that I can just recall it so distinctively. But, the one thing I do remember was not wanting to let you go. The holidays will be here before you know it, and I just don't know how that's going to go. I mean, this will be my first Thanksgiving and Christmas without my Uncle Curtis, that's hard to even think about. Well, I just wanted to let you know that I miss you and I love you. I still remember you.

With a Sincere Heart,

Your Niece Crystal

Curtis,

I miss you so very much and think about you all the time. It is so hard to call the house and hear your voice still on the answering machine but it is also very comforting in a way . I know that it is so hard for Marion to be without you in her life. You were her whole life for so long, she will move on when the time is right for her. I hope she knows that we will always be there for her.

I Love you and miss you

Hey Uncle Curtis,

It's me your niece. I know its been months but rest assure, I have not forgotten about you. I still grieve the loss of what was more than my uncle,my friend. Sometimes I still can't beleive that you are gone, so when I remind myself of your passing, I feel the pain all over again. I remind myself from the last time I saw you, the day Iwas notitfied you had passed, the first time I came to the house and there was nothing there but memories, and thetime I was forced to say goodbye for the last time. I love you and I miss you so much. I learned so much from you. I learned to be confident in myself, to not care what others thought of me(you would always say "They talk about Jesus Christ, so don't sweat it when they talk about you.")You taught me to be kind and loving, never to let anyone run over me,and much much more, and although you actually never sat me down and told me all of these things I learned from you anyway,by example. You were a good man and I am very proud to be called your niece.According to stories of the family you were the one who gave me my name, so that tells me that from day one you loved me, and it's that love that I carry with me everyday I think of you, glance at your photograph,or generate a memory. Christmas will never be the same, neither will the Dallas vs.Redskins game on Thanksgiving. I love you. Here is a little poem I wrote in memory of you. I thought you might like it:

There Aren’t Many Words

( A Letter From The Niece of Curtis Warren)

Written By: Crystal Warren

There aren’t many words that can ease this pain and sorrow we feel;

Not many words that can take these wounds that lay so deep and cause them to heal;

But we know that your in a better place;

Eventually, we all must meet death face to face;

But when you love someone so much, and then they just leave, it hard not to be hurt and sad;

We just can’t help feeling this way, even though God tells us to be joyful and glad;

But we are glad, for you no longer suffer anymore;

There’s only but so much that God would let you endure;

So, we want to thank God for giving you to us in the first place;

Trust when I say no one could ever replace you or the smile we remember always on your face;

God blessed us with a strong man with a beautiful soul who possessed loving wit and cheer;

Of many stories and advice for those who you loved so dear;

And boy you loved to dress;

You didn’t care who you would impress;

But that was apart of your awesome charm;

Even with your deep voice and sometimes harsh tones we know you meant no harm;

That’s just because you loved us, and we loved you too;

And there just isn’t anybody who could replace you;

There aren’t many words that one can say;

So we leave these word for those who mourn with us today;

Take comfort in the Lord and not yourselves and look at this way;

We shall get to see our Uncle Curtis again on that glorious day.

I miss you and love you! Keep your head up Aunt Marion. I love you.

My son, today I was thinking about you as always, nothing special about today. I was remembering our last days together sitting on the deck talking in the warm sun, and my last day sitting by your bed watching you slip away from me and all I could say is, "Baby, mommy loves you." I could not cry. I just sat there and watch you go home with Jesus. Then, the unbearable pain hit me, my baby was gone, he had left me. I love you more now than I ever have, if that's possible. I know you cannot read this but these are just some thoughts to help me. Beyond Earth's sorrow, the joys of heaven, eternal blessing with Christ my Lord, Earth's weeping ended, Earth's trial over, sweet rest oh blessed reward. Mommy love you baby.

Marion - I've always looked up to you and Curtis. To me, you two were the perfect couple. When God sends my mate to me (and He is going to send him to me) I wish to have a relationship like yours. Curtis was, and is, truly your soul mate. Remember, he's not gone, he's the soft breeze that touches you at unexpected moments. Keep your head up. My favorite - "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." He's happy, he's at peace, he's with God. I'll always be here if you need a friend and/or another sister. May the Lord continue to Bless and keep you.

Always,

Peaches Allen

To Marion With Deepest Sympathy,

Your Husband is yours still,

to love, and cherish,

and hold in your heart...

...for neither time, nor distance,

nor death itself can touch a love

that endures forever.

Sincerely,

Hello Marion & Family:

I'm so sorry to hear about Curtis. Know that God has all under control and he doesn't put anything on us we can not bear. You will always have the good memories of your loved one. Even the bad things you will miss. Please know that you are in my prayers and know that there will be a better day.

Words cannot express, my true feelings, but I will try.

Love. A simple word in appearance, but one of the most complex words in meaning. Love is what I feel when I think of Aunt Marion and Uncle Curtis.

Dear Uncle Curtis,

I Love You. I always have and I always will. For as long as I can remember you have been a consistent part of my life. As a child I always looked forward to seeing you and I always felt safe around you. There were times in my childhood where I felt awkward and uncomfortable with myself. You always made me feel special and loved. As an adult, you were always there when I needed you and never once did you judge me for any of the decisions I chose to make regarding my life. I will always cherish the many memories of the time spent with you Quiana and Aunt Marion. My heart hurts, because I have lost an Uncle, my Aunt has lost and husband and my cousin has lost a father. My heart also hurts because I know that Kayla will not remember you. At the same time my heart rejoices because I know that you are with God and no longer in pain. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would have spent more time with you, or maybe I would have called you more often, just to say hi. But regret is all a part of being in Love. Thank you Uncle Curtis for Loving and taking care of my Aunt and my cousin. Thank you for Loving me.

Always and Forever,

Your Niece,

TIME. . . .

Marion, they say that “time” heals all broken hearts and that in the days to come it gets easier. Just know that we are also going through a healing process with you. It still seems so unreal until we come over (to Marion & Curtis' house) and he's not there. I know there are never any "right" words to say to a person when they are mourning the loss of a loved one, but just remember that God gave the two of you over 28 wonderful years of "time" together and now he has left you with a lifetime of beautiful memories to hold onto and cherish in your mind and heart of a wonderful person. Curtis was never an "in-law" to any of us, he was always "our" Curtis. We all will cherish the memories of our uncle, brother, cousin, and most of all, our friend. For he was truly a "one of a kind". We loved him but God loved him best. . . .

Marion,

Some of us spend a lifetime trying to find that someone speical to share our life with. Some of us never find our true soul mate, that love of our life. You and Curtis were speical. The two of you found that speical love in each other. Some of us will never know the joy. That feeling of being in love, that oneness. The two of you have built so many memories and shared so may precious moments together. Never forget, always keep them in your heart, for your soul shall always charities the key to Curtis's heart and memories you made together.

God Bless,

Sharon and Harold Murdaugh

More than a cousin and more like a brother. You were the big brother I never had. I appreciated everything you did for me when I was a little girl. I admire the man you became although life gave you a couple of bumps. I also admired the man of God you became and I will never forget the message you did call "Choices". Your word of encourage and direction will always ring in my heart. I Love You and will Miss you so much. A Redskin/Dallas game will never be the same without your commentaries. And the Wizards will alway be the Bullets to us. Thank for hanging on until I was able to tell you I Love you.
