Wow Big Bro, it's literally been 20 years without you. It's so ironic this book came up after all these years when I'm preparing for ma's services on May 2nd. She really missed you and Tameka and now she can be with you both as well as the rest of the family. I will truly miss all of you!!!
Love always, your sis

TO MY BROTHER:
You're not here in the physical with me anymore, but your spirit will always be alive. I'm so deeply hurt by what happened to you because you weren't supposed to go like that, but we all know that we have to go one day and none of us can plan our last day on earth. I loved you because of who you were and I loved you even more because you were my only brother. Tony misses you and he's glad that you left that shirt in his closet because he will treasure it forever. I also want to say that I really admired your dedication to your passion, playing the drums. It is really inspiring me to do the same with the desires of my heart, but with more initiative.
TO ALL GUEST:
Thank you so much for all the heartfelt messages. My family is doing okay considering we lost a true angel. We lost someone that was loved by so many people and that makes us feel good. Despite anything he may have went through with anyone, he was never someone you could hate and for that I am so grateful.
If you didn't get an obituary, please email me and I'll do what I can to see that you do. We all need something to help keep our memories alive.
Also, look forward to an annual event in rememberance of
** Mike Curtis **.
Thanks Again

With our deepest sympathy.
I was really shocked and sadden by the news of Michael. I saw him about a month ago and he is still the same sweet person I knew since he was a child. Jackie and I wish you and your family peace. Michelle, keep your head up high it will get easier by the day. To the whole family stay with the Lord and he will see you through this tragedy.
Love
Beverly and Jackie

Mike,
It's hard to believe that you are gone, we just talked the night before, I know that you are in a better place but its still hard to digest. You were really like a brother to me and I know that I will miss all the fun times we all had together, I hope and pray that your family will be ok, that you kids will be alright, I know that they will, I hope that I will be able to come to terms with it all myself. but you were truly a angel and no one will be able to take that away, I love you always and forever, Your memory will always live in me.
Your Lil play sister
"Rip"
May God bless you Ms Yvonne, Ravion ,Jasmine, Michelle, Tameka, Johnny and the Whole BG Family, Amen
