Love / Charlotte Curtis (Aunt)

I have to admit denial is easier that facing this. I still cannot believe what happened and don't know if I ever will. On top of the devastating loss of Courtney my heart breaks for Dale Shonda Ashley Kristian and Wesley and the rest of my family. How they have the strength to carry on is amazing and definately an example for the rest of us to follow. Courtney should be here and we all miss her so much she was a gentle kind spirit full of love for friends and family. I'll never forget our sweet dark haired beautiful Courtney and there isn't anything that will ever make this any easier for any of us. Much love to everyone who shares in this pain and we are all blessed to have had her in our lives for the time we did.

With Love

Charlotte

Can't believe that it is almost two years  / Carmel Mortenson
It's Homecoming week again Courtney. I've never written on here but I feel compelled to say that you are still remembered as if it were just yesterday. Look over your friends this week and ask God to give them the strength they need to get through the Homecoming parade. You are so loved. It's because you were such a beautiful person inside and out. You touched many lives. My heart still breaks for your Mama and all of your family. Close

Courtney... / Cheryl Shecrallah (passerby)

I am so glad your family and friends have not stopped writing...it's so important.  I also lost my daughter Shelby....on augustus 7 2007.  She was 15...like you...perhaps you've met.

Heaven is full of angels...gone too soon.

God bless.

Slowly but surely  / Tori Mortenson (One of the Fab5 )
Courtney my love. I don't think Ive missed anyone as much as I miss you! I think about things we'd always laugh about and I'm like gah where is Courtney? So i search my heart to find you and there you are. And I smile knowing that if you were here we'd be rolling on the floor laughing. I found my freshmen planner the other night and wow. We were so lame. We thought we were so cool. We werent. :]] but ya know we didnt really have to be cuz we had fun. and it showed. It was just valentines day and I thought about the first valentines day you were here and you were dating Cole. haha. and you were freaking out cuz you didnt know if you had been dating long enough to say "love" Courtney! I was sitting next to you just tellin you to write it and then Cole showed up at his locker [which we could see from our seats] and we just laughed and in the end you never did write it or actually send anything to him. You must have known i was gonna fall head over heals for him. bah! I even asked you "Courtney are you sure its ok with you that i date him. I know you guys just kinda broke up" and you were totally cool with it. You were always so laid back. I miss it. I miss you telling me "Tori you are my best firend. You were my first real friend here". Thats what keeps me going girl. Every memory I have with you is so vivid in my mind right up to the very end. Which I wish I didnt have. And they are replayed every day. But each day it becomes less and less like a sharp pain. It hurts so much Courtney. Believe you me. I see everyone who loved you dearly just hiding it. including me. But. I really do believe that your helping us through every day and you are taking away our pain. I feel you and god just working in my heart. Please keep us going strong and reassuring us that we will be able to go back to Living, Laughing, and Loving just as you taught us too. I love you so much Corgie and I miss you like you wouldnt believe. You are so loved and I hope you know that. Your smile shines so bright in every face of every heart you touched! I'll be seeing you <3 T Close

Missing you Corgie  / Ellie Reeves (friend in Middle School )
Well Court, its the 13th tomorrow and this time it seems especially sad. Ever since i've been in Denver i feel farther away from you than ever. I just keep thinking about when you moved to Westcliffe, and since you were new everyone practically flocked to you! i remember how meredith and I would sit at the "8th graders table" and i was jealous of meredith cuz she knew you right away and i didnt. That year was so much fun though, after you had been there a while i felt like you were one of those rare Westcliffe people who said you would keep everything we talked about secret, and you actually did. Even when you went to High School it would always brighten my day when you would randomly IM me just to see how things were going. I wish we would have stayed as good of friends in High School as we were in Middle School. I think of you so much, and ive never stopped missing you. It seems like im still getting to know you through Ashley, and especially when she tells me crazy stories about you. you have made such an impact on everyone who's ever known you, we all love you soo much, and things still havent gone back to normal since you left. I cant wait to see you again one day, but ill keep missing you till I do. love you always RIP.....::LIVE::LAUGH::LOVE::. Close

You are missed so very much!  / Kacey Williamson (not really a good friend but i knew her )
We love and miss you so very much. We know that you may not be here in human form but in spirit. We think about you all the time. Ashley and I may not get along all the time but I understand her pain. And even though we arent the best of friends I still luv her and you.  We will never forget you or the wonderful memories you left behind. Close

Hiding the pain  / Tori Mortenson (Best Friend )
Courtney my love! it amazes me how a year can pass in so little time and not a whole lot of healing done. It hurts so much to think you arent here and that you havent been. This time today i thought you were going to be ok! i knew you were! i had so much faith that i was going to come see you and talk to you about how scary it all was. Then in time we would laugh again and be on our merry way. but we arent. I thought ive been ok. But im not. its all spilling back up and i dont know what to do with it all. nothing helps and i just wish you would  be here. So i could feel like im just freakin out for no reason cuz your fine and this is all a bad dream. it is a bad dream. a bad reality. i miss your smiling face and its hard to look at your siblings or your mom and just know that their heart is broken forever. mine is too. I miss you with all my heart and You will ALWAYS be in my heart. Love you Corgie *Fab 5 forever* Close

missing you so much<3  / Megan Husvet (Best Friend )

all this time i have been waiting...

waiting for you to come home to the ones who love you...

waiting for myself to come to the realization that you won't...

waiting for my heart to stop aching...

waiting for this pain to go away...

but it won't.

its not going to get better.

i will always have this hole in my heart.

Courtney i miss you so unbelievably much.

i can't bear it.

its's not fair,

the way you were ripped from those who love you

we still had so many memories left to make,

so many things we wanted to do.

its not fair that a friendship so pure had to end.

i don't understand why it had to be taken from us.





i love you Courtney

to forever and beyond.

your always in my heart

Poem for Courtney  / CK
Today God, you've taken away a person that many of us loved dearly.
Now our lives will be changed forever and that is a burden we all will have to bear.

All we ask is that you take good care of her because now she is in your hands.
and to help those of us still here to understand.

We know that he is going to be with us every step of the way
And at times things may get tough and we may not know what to say,

That's when we will think of you and what you might say.
Courtney Curtis, we know that you would want us to continue on and be strong

Trust me, we will try our best even though it all seems completely wrong.
As we prepare to say our final Good-bye the tears begin to flow,

We now know that the healing process will be slow.
By the grace of God we know that we can work through this if we all stick together,

For we all know that the pain we feel is not forever.
Yes, we have our good days and bad days,

When people ask how we are we doing we don't know what to say.
Yes the tears are still there,

Only because we lost someone who really cared.
As we look for you in all the places you normally are,

We begin to realize that you aren't very far.
Your where you've always been in our heart,

Which lets us know that our lives will never be dark.
God we as you to help us through these tough times,

and to let us know that we will be just fine.
You left many task undone,

And your shoes no one can fill, I mean, no one.
As the days go by it's getting easier and easier to smile,

Because you left so many good memories that can and will go for miles.
The pain is becoming less and less,

With you and God looking down on us we feel truly blessed.
Yes we miss you,

and that is very true.
Now you're in God's hands,

And that's something we'll have to understand.

It was a supposed to be fun day turned tragic, that none of us will ever forget.
You're in our hearts and prayers Courtney. Close

Missing the good ol' days  / Tori Mortenson (Good Friend )
Happy late Birthday Corgie. I hope it was amazing. Ya know. Its really hard to celebrate your birthday when your not here. its the weirdest thing ever. I miss you so much. It sucks without your beautiful smile. This summer has been weird cuz i just keep thinkin your off in Rifle with your fam and we just havent talked cuz your a busy bee. but we are starting our junior year and i feel guilty for starting without you. I wanna exchange and compare scheduals like we always do. Member before freshmen year when you left yours at my house and i couldnt find it and i finally got it to you like the day of school. haha. sorry about that. we didnt even have like any classes together. cept for art and health/PE. I member being so bummed. Thanx for letting me barrow your shoes for like half of basketball season by the way. Even though you totally quit and went and hung out with megan and rachael. but its k. i still love you. it wasnt that fun anyways. i would have rather done that too. oh. and then didnt someone steal them. haha. you were so mad. i actually member who it was but i guess i prolly shouldnt say it but haha you were mad. Your funny when your mad though. Cuz you dont really seem mad. I was also thinkin about 8th grade math class and how we'd like never pay attention and you saved my butt cuz i was all alone in that class and you sat by me and we clicked right away. And when you were going out with Cole he'd always go to his locker during that class and you'd always smile and wave at him and i member you fillin out your valentines to him. i dont think you ever sent them though. you thought it was too soon. :) i felt bad for datin him like right after you but you said you were totally cool with it. thats what i loved about you. so easy going. and you were always setting me up with ppl. you crazi. Anyways. I miss seeing you in the morning when i got to school and you were always there early and you were either sleeping or just sitting there talkin and you would always smile and me when i came in. It totally sucks Corgie you have no idea. I try and be strong but i just cant. I miss you sooooo much and i feel so bad that you arent experiencing all this crazi stuff with us. I want to just stop and wait til you get here. but i guess id be waiting for a while. 10 months is a lonnnng time and yet it feels like yesterday when we were in the bathroom of the commons getting ready and your phone cept going off and i was bout to throw it at the wall cuz the song was getting super annoying. and i got you all glittered up and you me and megan looked so cute. What i wouldnt give to just hang out with you one last time. I just miss your presence! Anyways. now that i just wrote a novel. I just wanted you to know i love you dearly Corgie and your missed terribly! i cant wait to see you again. We have lots to catch up on. save me a seat up there babe!!! LOVE YOU! LIVE~LAUGH~LOVE RIP Close

Miss you soooo much!  / Shonda Curtis (mom)
From the day I met you I fell in love with you.And as I watched you grow into this beautiful young woman ,all I could think about was the very first day that we met,when you were born.You had such a warmth about you that everyone loved and we all miss so much,and a huge heart filled with so much love for everyone.And as your 16th birthday approached ,I got sick,I could not function,all I wanted was to have you back home safe in my arms where I felt you belonged.All I could remember was last year when I took you,megan, and rachel to town for your birthday,and how much fun you girls had.And I wanted to do it again.I just wanted you here I miss you .like crazy.And then after your birthday it was 10 months.I really can not believe that it has been 10 months already.It feels like I just dropped you off at the school .and I will never forget that morning ever,you and ashley got out of the car and you were taking forever to get out you had to fix your clothes ,your hair,and make sure you were perfect as you were always.and I said I love you and you said I love you to and as you walked away from the car I turned up the music and you were looking at me laughing and smiling,and I was dancing being the crazy mom that I am,but I will never forget that smile as you turned at my car and looked at me  as you walked away. I know what you were thinking ,oh my gosh mom not in front of the school with my friends. But I did not care what people think I was having fun .That stays with me everyday .I will always remember the good times that you and ashley gave me ,you girls are so much fun.And we all miss you so much but we will never forget you courtney you live inside us everyday.And life may go on courtney but not without you in our thoughts every second of the day for the rest of my life,until we meet again.I love you &miss you .R.I.P.

10 Months Of Standing With God  / Jaime Beach (Close Friend )

Hey Courtney I just got on your website and just couldnt beleive that it has been 10 months since you have been gone. I was just thinking about all of the good times we have had together like one time Kristian and I were trying too play a prank on you when you were sleeping but Kristian accidentally shined the flashlight in your eyes and you woke up so we didnt do it too you! Then on your birthday Ashley invited me over and you Megan and Rachelle were riding on the four wheeler and you guys came back covered in mud. I have just been remembering all of our great memories. I dont know wat I would have done if I never knew you, you are the truest friend I ever had. We all know and always will know that you are up in heaven shineing down on this little town. God was waiting up in heaven for you and finally took you he never imagined haveing such a beautiful and amazing angel like you up in Heaven and standing by his side. I love you and pray too see you sometime in the future. R.I.P C.C WE LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!!!! Jaime
