To Kasey and Kelly,
I send my condolences upon learning the passing of Mr. Curty. He was such a happy and fun loving person who had a winning smile. He and your Mom were very special people whom many adored. I have many fond memories of Mr. Curty and Mrs. Stacy as we were growing up on Springdale. They were always cooking and the food was delicious. I would come over and ask if there were any leftovers, and there was always something yummy ready to eat. I remember you guys having the largest TV set in Marion and the cool speakers that were hooked up to it so your Dad could hear his movies and shows well. Wasn't it totally amusing when they would have friends over and after having a few drinks, some of them would go and jump on the Patey's trampoline
Your Mom would iron almost everything you all wore and she would let you take her van to Corner Mart to cash a check. Kasey would call me early on a school morning and say, "Come on Peanut, we're goin' to Corner Mart!" I remember when you guys brought Max home and how cute he was, but as he got older he would growl at me for no reason which sort of hurt my feelings.. I got over it eventually. How about Miss Louise She was one of a kind and I'm so lucky I moved to Springdale and met you, and you introduced me to Miss Louise. Kasey and I would go out at night with Clint's bee bee gun and shoot bullfrogs in the ditches and we'd sneak into his room when he wasn't home and play his Nintendo, as he wasn't the worlds best about sharing. In closing, I want you all to know how much I'm thinking of you and that I know how hard this is. You're in my prayers but if you need something more, you know where to find me.
All my love,
Katie aka Peanut
