Shirley and Tom this passing of your son saddens me so. Parents are not supposed to bury their children. I know from personal experience what you are going through at this moment. God was and is my strength, my saving grace, my sounding board, a vase to catch the many
tear filled days and nights and keeping me sane. Lean on the one constant thing in life that is the only thing we are guaranteed and that my dear friend is Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I pray you and your family can find the comfort and peace you will need through all the many prayers that are being sent to you…

Curt was a kind and loving man and husband. Curt and Danielle knew they had found their soulmate when they found each other, they were inseparable. Always, always, thinking of each other. Her family took him in like a son and had so many good times together. There will be a piece missing without him. Keeping Danielle and all the families in our prayers.
