Mora Curtis Browning

Curtis, you were the first to break our family circle and your absence sometimes seems too much to bear.  I then look beyond this vacant emptiness as only tempory because I will shortly see you again.  I know that God was with you that Sunday

morning when He took you home to be with Him.  I have comfort in knowing that you must have put a big smile on Mom's face when she entered heaven and saw you waiting for her.  She often would say, "I miss my boy".  I pray dailey for the rest of our family that all would accept the Lord  and when our turn comes we can all be together again as one big family.  It won't be much longer for any of us, so please you and Mom be ready to welcome us home.  I love you.  Sue 

oh so many wonderful memories!!!  curtis had to be the most plain spoken of them all!!!  He never left without making us all smile. 

He stated life the way it was and the way it was is how he said it.  

 

 he left us with so many wonderful memories of  honest truths.

 

 he made us smile sooooo many times in this life.    he had so much wisdom,

 

mike (my husband) was talking yesterday how curtis said the gas prices would go to $4.00 a gallon, then what would we do??   he was right.  he was so real.  we still talk about statements he made that were true, and he didn't even know he was talking about stuff he wouldn't see come to pass.

 

curtis never judged anybody, he gave everyone room to fail, and he would still be a confidant, if he was needed.  words will never discribe who he was in the life of those who knew him, words will never describe who he was in the lives of

his grandchildren. 

 

the past few years, he never had a conversation with anyone unless he told what hunter or hannah had said.   he was always quoting them.  he loved his grandchildren.  

 

 he cherished the value of family,

 he knew the most important thing in life was family, 

 words will never express who he truly was to his brothers,  whether he seen his brothers every day or every month he was the same from day to day, year or year,  he will always be  in the hearts of his brothers, and sister.

He was just awesome. 

 

there are times i sit on my front portch, because curtis build it.  i miss him, but know my loss will never compare to his children and grandchildren, my only prayer is when they have questions about memories, they will contact those who grew up knowing what a wonderful  man he truly was. 

 

words just will never describe who he was to so many people!!!

 

Carol! I soo remember that! I was there. I was doing Dads dishes and Tony flies off the roof infront of the kitchen window! I ran out the door to Daddy and there he was just rolling laughing at him!  I said,"Daddy you shouldn't laugh he might be hurt!" Daddy said "ahh you can't hurt Tony!" Then we all where laughing. I remember him being on the phone with you too. Daddy said he outta' have enough sense to get off a tin roof when it's raining! lol

You know his sense of humor.  Good times. Even if it was at the risk of Tony getting hurt!

 

I miss Daddy so much!

 

 

 

Well, I have so many memories of Curtis,We talked everyday on the phone. Telling stories about our kids. But mostly our grandkids,One i remember the most is we were talking and he said Tony May was putting a tin roof on for him, and out of no where Curtis starts laughing so hard he could'nt speak. I said what is so funny, he said Tony just fell off the roof. I said oh my god is he all right. He finally quit laughing long enough to ask Tony, but yes he was o'k. i've never heard him laugh that much before, than he did that day.We had so many laughs together,He is a big part our lifes and he is truly missed.So until next time.

 

     This weekend was hard for the girls and I. We where getting ready for Hannah's 7th Birthday party.

     Hunter and Hannah where running around playing and being kids, we where busy with the decorations and balloons but we all could not look at eachother without feeling the hurt.

     We could see it in eachother...We missed Daddy.  He never missed a birthday party. Always there adding laughter and pure joy just with his presence.

     Hunter's birthday is coming up too. Maybe some day we will learn to remember with joy of the times we shared instead of sadness because we don't have him here.  

Always missing him.
