    To Curtis & Family

    Just Call On Me
    By Karl Fuchs

    I can’t comprehend just how sad you must feel
    For the loss of someone you love.
    This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
    And you’re looking for strength from above.

    I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
    That your spirit will gain strength again,
    And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
    And that God will send blessings--Amen.

    Till then, if you need me to lighten your load,
    I’m waiting to come to your aid.
    Just call on me, and I’ll walk down that road,
    Until the dark times start to fade.

    I sent this poem to express my deepest sympathy for your lost. I want you to remember that there is no sorrow that God cannot heal. Keep leaning and depending on Him and in time your heavy heart will lessen.

    With deep condolences,

    Corbie

I did not have the opportunity to visit very much due to my busy schedule , but when I did, we had a great time. I will miss her when I go by to visit with Veronica. I say to you all, be strong and look to the hills whence cometh your help and know every thing will get better with time..... Also, know that if anyone of you should need me, just call on me....Much Love, Your cousin,
