I am so very sorry for your loss. Losing someone we love in death is so hard; but to lose a loved one so unexpectedly....is a pain that is indescribable. I pray you strength to see you through this difficult time and strength to endure in the days ahead. I pray that when you think of Mr. Curtis that the memories and beautiful moments that you all shared will bring you peace and eventually help you all smile again. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and you all remain upon my heart. Love you KilaB. Love you all.

To the family and friends of Christopher Bowens, please accept my condolences for your loss. Losing a loved one in death is never easy, but Almighty God will help you to get through this difficult time. At Psalms 55:22 we are told to throw our burdens on Jehovah and he will sustain us, and he will do just that at a time such as this. Sorry for your loss.
