 I know how hard it is to lose a parent, whether expected or not. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear "Mom" I am so thankful to have been given the honor of sharing a small part of your life. I am sorry I never took the time in this life to thank you for all the wonderful things you have taught & shared with me & my family. I never really told you how much it meant to me knowing you were always looking out for Casey & Tami when I couldn't. I can only try to be as loving and as giving as you've always have been. Thank you for always having an open heart and always looking for the bright side of things. Thank you for always being honest and always giving a straight answer even if the truth might hurt. You are going to be dearly missed but know you will never be forgotten.
 Thank you for all your love, your laughter you've always seem to share and bring out in others, and most important, Thank You for being everyone's Mom. Love forever, Carol Curtis
 May God comfort the many family & friends that you have touched so gracefully, and help them in is difficult time. Amen

Grandma, Gosh there are so many things I want to say. First of all thank you so much for being my grandmother, my rock, and my strength. You are the most loving, caring, and giving woman I have ever met. I am so thankful to have had you in my life for as long as I did and I cherish all of the years we have had together. I know you will be watching over me from heaven and guiding me thru the rest of my time on earth until I can be with you again. Grandma, you were always like a second mother to me when my mom couldn't be there and I am so greatful for that. My heart is heavy and my tears seem never ending but I know that you are in a better place and that God will take great care of you. Just know that you will be forever loved and missed and that we will be together again someday. Rest in peace. I love you. Casey Jo Forsythe ( Curtis )

Jean Thank you for all the love and guidance you have given to me and my siblings through the years. You were the second MOM to us when our own mother was ill or hospitalized. I am so glad I got to visit with you in November and to renew old times. I have loved you always and will remember you with love and affection. Nanette "Tootie"

You have taught me so much in this life; to be honest, faithful, loving, and to smile readily. You have taught me how to love, and how to forgive. It is because of your guidance, your strength, and your unrelenting love that I am who I am today, and I could never thank you enough. You have touched and changed the lives of so many of us, and this family will never be the same without our matriarch. We mourn not for your death, as many of us are thankful that you are no longer suffering, but for the life and the vivacity of the grandmother-mother-friend you have been and always will be to so many of us. There will never be a "Sorry" game that I play that I will not remember you and smile...and remember to wait my turn. 
 You are forever my rock and my guidance, and you will never be forgotten.
 Love Tam
