Condolences
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN
Mrs. Thompson and Family,
I am sadden by the passing of my Friend,my heart is so full of tears, not because he went home to be with the Lord, but because I didn't know of his illness. I would have done anything in my power for my Friend, as I know that he would have for me.
You raised an amazing person as I have known him all of my life, I am so very proud to have been called friend by him.
Please know, that even in our times of partying and living in the world, Curtie never hesitated to speak of our Lord and Risen Savior Jesus Christ.
Thank you God for Curtie, and thank you Mrs. Thompson for sharing him with the world.
RIP Cousin Curtie
LIFE’S BOOK
No matter what else you are doing
From cradle days through to the end,
You are writing your life’s secret story
Each day sees another page penned.
Each month ends a thirty page Chapter
Each year means the end of a part –
And never an act is misstated
Or even one wish of the heart
Each day when you wake the book opens,
Revealing a page clean and white –
What thoughts and what words and what doings
Will cover its pages by night?
God leaves that to you – you’re the writer
And never a word shall grow dim,
Till the day you write the word finish
And give your Life’s Book back to Him.
Dearly loved & sadly missed, cousin Gwen Wilson & family
