Sorry for your loss. I could never see myself walking on 511 at night to make it worse. And the old driver prolly had some fault here to.. But sorry for your loss
On behalf of the family I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. This is a terrible tragedy that is affecting everyone. We also have not received any feedback on the facts, so not knowing is hurting all of us even more. Funeral announcements will be in tomorrows newspaper with dates and times.

Curtis Who
Curtis was only fifthteen,
Who was hit by a car.
Who went so quick,it seemed,
Who was only fifteen.
Who was kind of like a
big brother to me,
Who was going to get a
car with a key.
Curtis was a nice cousin,
Who defended and looked out for I.
But now we have to say good bye.
Bye to our cousin,
Bye to our son,
Bye to our nephew,
Bye to our grandson.
Bye to our friend,
Bye to our student.
Bye to our buddy,
Bye to our stranger.
Goodbye Curtis, we will all miss you.

Curtis
He was the one with the yellow hair,
That looked cool with what he weared.
He really,really likes his shoes,
Really,really dark,dark blue.
He liked to play his PS2 games,
If he lost,he had someone to blame.
So while we all grieve today,
That guy will pay,he will pay.
We all should say,we will say,
Curtis, we will see you someday.

Curtis was only fifthteen. He wasn't done with his life yet. He was looking forward to this summer, and probably to his up-coming birtday,(He would be old enough to drive). We all have memories of him. Whether they're good or bad, Curtis will not be forgotten. Curtis was good at alot of things. He tought me some stuff, helped me with some stuff, gave me some tips, and he was always on my side, and I was always on his. So whether you like him or not, you have a memory of him. If you don't know him, just kow he was a great fifthteen year old. We had alot in common; magic, cards, steelers, cars, NASCAR, and drawing. He was the greatest drawer in the whole world,(in my opinion) Just remember, he will be missed, but not forgotten.
