PLEASE SEND YOUR THOUGHTS TO THESE FAMILIES

For you Curtis, and your friends, I am so sorry. Your life was far too short with us but I know you managed to get yourself in trouble and had fun doing it, along with the old fun I remember when we first moved to Ravenwood. You were a great friend. I wish I could be there with you to say goodbye. In my mind this is not the end, you will be with us again. I am truly sorry for the loss your families must be feeling, I can't imagine anything like it and there are no words.

Sean... There is a reason for everything... I know it doesnt help but it is true... I hope you are taking care of yourself. I love you so much baby bro... Im here to talk when you need to...

Email from my mum telling me of the news...
"I have some sad news to report. Early Sunday morning, Curtis Martin, Time Marshall, and Chris El all died. It was a tragic accident. All three boys were found inside a car, inside a garage. They had parked in the garage waiting for one of the boys mothers to come home and let them inside the house. While they were in the garage they had the car running to keep warm. All three boys succumb to carbon monoxide poisoning. The boys didn’t realize that the carbon monoxide from the exhaust would kill them. We are so sad! Dad (S.Dornan) actually was called to the scene that was originally reported as a suicide."

Cecilia, you are correct, Curtis was a gregarious young man...his funeral was beautiful. They displayed some of his favourite things in the chapel and many people showed up to pay respects. It's funny how quickly things can change...in an instant!
Your message to Curtis and his family was nice. I will print it off and make sure that they are aware of your thoughts.

Love Mom!
