"A TRIBUTE TO CURTIS: THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
Thanks for the memories:
Of hunts we can't forget, and all your friends we met,
Our wond'rous times in forests and all the turkeys we’d get.
How lucky we were.
And thanks for the memories: Of breakfasts at the diner, nothing could be finer,
We’d hunt all day for miles, And you’d crack that crazy smile
How fun it all was.
Now since your passing, we wake up, Remembering on these days after.
We long for the sound of your laughter,
And want more hunts ever after.
Curt, thanks for the memories:
Of every hunt a thrill, You put us through the mill.
We’ve lived a lot and learned a lot, you never teased us-NOT!
and still; We’ll miss you so much.
And thank you so much.

There are no words sufficient to express how sorry I am for the terrible loss you have suffered. Curtis was a fine man, who lived his brief life to the fullest and made an adventure out of every moment. All the memories I have of him are a happy ones, from rabbit hunting trips at camp to simple encounters at your house. He always had a smile on his face and was a lucky man to be surrounded always by the love of his wife and family. God bless you all in this difficult time."

"Grondin Family- We never had the pleasure of meeting your Curtis but we did get to hear of his gift of hunting. When our son was born Kathy was our nurse. She placed my son in my arms for the very first time. When she heard the name we had choosen for him (Remington) she shared with us what an avid hunter her son was. A mothers pride was obvious and heart warming. We've talked about that conversation many times. I can't imagine your pain. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May you feel the comfort of God, family and friends at this time."

"I normally do not read the newspaper obituaries, but for some reason I did today. And even though I never met your husband, he sounded like a great guy. Please know that God sees the suffering we are all experiencing and He does care. Psalms 55:22 says, "Throw your burden upon Jehovah himself, And he himself will sustain you..."
You and your family will be in my prayers.

"Pat, Kathy and all your family. We didn't know Curtis but certainly have connections to your family. I grew up with Robin and we were great friends after we married. Also had real connections with the Nichols family. If we had the opportunity to know Curtis we would have loved him and had a lot in common. It is always sad to hear of a life "gone too soon". We will
remember you in our prayers as you grieve his loss in the days and months ahead.

"To the Family. I am sorry for the lost of your family member and dear
friend. I have an encouraging message that I would like to share with you from
Gods Word the Bible. The Bible gives us comfort and hope at Revelation
21:3-5 which assures us that the day is soon to come in which our Heavenly
Father is going to wipe away the tears of sorrow from our eyes forever and death
will be no more. I hope that after reading this that it will be of
comfort to each of you. To learn more as to why we die and what hope for
our loved ones, please feel free to go to the website: jw.org
