Curtis was such a kind, intelligent, loving man. I remember coming over to your house for high school parties, and I would always end up spending most of my time sitting and chatting with Curtis; sharing life stories and lessons. He was a great man, always providing encouragement and wisdom to his children and their friends. Kyle, Eric, Lindsay, and Linda, I am sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you. Miss you Curtis.
Dear Linda and family ….. Several years ago, the following was sent to me, for loss of a family member. I share, with love, the quote that meant so much to me. May it soothe.
“Words will not wipe away your tears
And hugs will not ease the pain
But hold onto your memories
Because they will remain.”
To Our Dear Friend Curtis you will always be remembered, will always keep you in our hearts.
Linda, Lindsay, Kyle and Eric – We are so very sorry and saddened to hear of Curtis’ passing. We all send love and prayers. Such a quiet, loving, strong man who loved his family to the fullest. So very sorry for the hole in your hearts.
Dearest Linda, Kyle, Eric & Lindsay: I am so very, very sorry to hear this news. We were just speaking of Curtis the other day after seeing Eric’s beautiful portrait of him. A kinder, sweeter man would be hard to find. May your happy memories sustain you during this time of grief. May his memory be eternal.
Much love to you all.

MY CONDOLENCES ANDERSONS, HE WAS SUCH A GREAT MAN, HE WILL BE DEEPLY
MISSED.
Love, light, and strength to Linda and family.
love never dies.. a loving soul will continue to exist even after death.. it will exist in all the elements that make this universe.
Curtis was one of my absolute favorite cousins. In his own quiet way, he was consistently and genuinely kind to me. Our time together, especially as adults, is even more special now…the memories can never be taken away. I’m so proud of the footprint he left – as a son, nephew, cousin, husband, father, and grandfather. I struggle with his departure, but at the same time understand he is experiencing a freedom those of us left behind cannot fathom. He is in the presence and love of God forever. His chronic health challenges are no more! Family, as we move through this grieving process, it is important to remember the love we have for each other.
Dear Linda, Lindsay, Kyle, and Eric,
Precious in the Sight of the Lord Dear God, you are the family’s strength in this time when the anguish of their household leader’s death surrounds the family, and their grief is unending. O Lord! Deliver their eyes from the flood of tears. Curtis was the light of the family’s life, yet precious in your sight as well.
Love
Curtis Jr
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Mrs. Anderson. Although I didn’t meet your husband, it’s my understanding he was a wonderful person.
With all our love and hugs

When we met you treated me as if I was family. Your smile was very welcoming. You will be missed. Sleep well. Much love always 💖.
Linda, Kyle, Eric, Lindsay and family,
Thinking of all of you and holding you close in love and prayers during this really hard time. Your husband/dad was an exceptional human being; so loving, kind, gentle and an absolute delight to be around. He will be missed by so many. But none more than you. He left a legacy of love and family and now all of you will continue to carry that forward. I celebrate his life-well-lived and mourn his passing with you today.

Linda,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. May the Lord be with you and give you peace during this time of grief.
My prayers are with you Linda.
Cousin Linda and Family,
Words cannot express my deepest sympathy for the love of your life. Curtis shall be missed, but always remembered. Hold onto his smile and gentle nature. I will hold onto the memory of him from our family reunion in Texas. He demonstrated how to fight for life and not complain, but be grateful, thankful and appreciate the present.
I love you and the family and admire you and Curtis’ love story. I will hold on to the memory of our trip to the amusement park in New Jersey with you both , Sandy
, Jimmy and I. We we’re so excited and patiently waited to ride The Beast roller coaster. This was so many years ago, yet so vivid in my mind!
Just know that weeping may endure for the night, but joy will come. For his legacy lives through the fruit you and Curtis created together with your beautiful family. He may be gone physically, but his spirit and nature still lives.
Thank you for being his advocate and adding such joy to his life! Know that God will see you through this time. You have so much to live for !
May God bless you and keep you all. Praying for your strength, peace and comfort.
With love,
Diedra Anderson Walters and Family ❤️
Dear Linda
I am so sorry to hear about your husband’s passing. May God comfort you & your family at this painfully difficult time & may your cherished memories that truly were divine intervention, help you to see God’s love even in your sorrow. Upholding you in fervent prayer.
With Sincere Sympathy
