Dear Matt & Ashley, I remember your mother from church because she stood out as especially gracious.  Among the adults, she never seemed to look down on me nor discount me for my youth.  Rather, she treated me with dignity, sweetness, and gentility.  She was filled with a kindness that comes from strength.  I know now that this strength is from the Holy Spirit.  I believe that she prayed for me and that my conversion when I was 21 is due in part to her faithfulness.  I am grateful to her.  I pray that Jesus will fill the void in your hearts with Himself and that, in the midst of your pain, you grieve with hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13).  Take care, Sophie Padula (née Kirk)

We dearly loved Courtney. Working with her so many times in Cursillo was a great joy. She brought laughter, joy and was super in the kitchen!  She was an extraordinary role model for all of us. 
With much love to the family.

It was my honor and delight to get to know Courtney as she recruited me to the Powell Gardens Board. She was always so kind and supportive.  Her energy and enthusiasm was infectious and inspiring. 

On behalf of everyone at Powell Gardens, I send condolences and much love. 

Your mother was always so kind to me in my early career days at Carriage Club.  Her grace and smile was solid and sincere.  God’s grace and peace be with each of you, friends.
