There many stories I could tell about my cousin Curtis. We spent a lot of time together, he was always laughing so much he could hardly talk. I think Curtis was about 9 or 10 when this happened. He asked his parents if he could have a birthday party. His mom and dad told him “not right now maybe a little later”. Curtis thought about it, and since they always had ice cream in the freezer he would throw his own party. So, he made invitations and passed them out to his friends.
On the day of his birthday there was a knock at the door there stood some of Curtis’ friends with presents in hand. I,ll let you all image what happened next.
Don’t you love that kid.
Goodbye Curtis, you were my little brother for awhile and I miss you dearly. Give hugs to Uncle Bill, Aunt Betty and your favorite person of all Mrs. Fischer.
Love Linda

I am so sorry for your loss. I taught with Curtis for a couple of years. He had a great sense of humor indeed. These last few years have been most difficult. Thankfully, he had a great family helping him through this journey of life. May he rest in peace.
