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.”
Much love to you all.

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.
Love n prayers,
Shirley
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.
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 ❤️
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
