Remember the time when we were younger we cooked biscuits on a fire behind your mums house.

I will always remember you RIP Curtis you are safe in Gods hands now another of his precious angels, look out for my little sister for me. No more pain and suffering sleep peacefully.

About Curtis

About Curtis Curtis was born on Friday 15th December 1967 in Hanover Military Hospital Germany. His due date to be born was Christmas Day, but being that we were stationed in a little town called Hildesheim, and so far away, he was brought on, as they called it in those days. Basically it was just because they didn’t want anyone in the labour dept over Christmas. He was a lovely baby and no trouble at all. At 10 months he was eating with a spoon and drinking from a child cup, but not walking. He just used to sit as good as gold and play with his toys, or crawl but wouldn’t walk. Then one day he pulled himself up on a chair and started walking, that brought us great joy. Due to his inactivity, when he was about 2 years old, he developed a prolapsed bowel and was put into Great Ormand street Hospital For Children. Unfortunatley I had to leave him there as I had his 2 sisters to look after at home. I will never forget his little face when I came back a week later. He was standing up in his cot, and a beautiful smile spread over his face when he saw me. It was a picture of great joy, and he was so happy to see me again. He was very close to his sisters Suzy and Georgy, and in every photo we have of them together whilst he was growing up, he was smiling with content. We had some lovely holidays together when they were small in Southend On Sea where his Gran and Grandad live. His Grandad is Canadian and his Gran is Italian, so he has quite a mixture. He was named after his Grandad, who is still alive as is his Gran. He didn’t have the best childhood as his father, my 1st husband, was very strict with us all. But still the 4 of us, Curt his sisters and myself, had great fun together. I can remember the 4 of us watching our favourite programs on TV together, such as Dallas and Coronation Street. On one such occasion we were watching the Miss World Contest on TV and the commentator was saying there were so many millions of people watching at the time. Just as he said it we had a power cut, and in the darkness a little voice piped up “Less 4 now mateâ€, we were all in fits of laughter and giggles, it was so funny. Curtis started school in 1976 at Harestock Juniors, progressing to Henry Beaufort when he was 11, and later moved to Westgate School until he was 16. He got 4 GCSE’s and was particularly gifted at art. We still have many sketches and drawings of his, One of my particular favourites, a sketch of King Alfreds Statue, has been hanging on my living room wall for well over 20 years. At this time he also developed a great love of contempory music as most teenagers do. And was extremely passionate about what we call his music, right up until he died. Another of Curtis’s great passions was fishing, and he took every opportunity to indulge it. On one such occasion I can remember, he must have been about 14 and I was working in the shoe dept at Debenhams, when he walked in with a big smile on his face and I noticed his jacket was very bulky and wet. He said “You need not worry about dinner tonight mum†and pulled from his jacket the biggest salmon I had ever seen. I didn’t know whether to smack him or thank him but everybody in the shop was amused. Like all teenagers he had an aversion to soap and water. One night he refused to have a bath, so the girls and myself picked him up and dumped him in the bath fully clothed, and we all ended up in it with him, he was struggling and laughing so much. When he left school he went to work for Sarsen Press, as a printer and book binder. He enjoyed his work and was very happy there. He brought himself a car and seemed to be getting on fine. Round about 1989 he was still working for Sarsen Press, and it was at this time we noticed signs that he was getting unpredictable and ill, and everybody was worried about him. He left home a few times but always came back. Whilst he was ill he enjoyed and was included in all the family holidays with the Grandchildren, and loved his Nephews, Paddy, Mikey and Stevie, who have great memories of their Uncle Curt at the seaside, helping them build sandcastles and making sure they were safe in the water. When we were on a caravan holiday in Dorset one year, after a lovely day out together, Curtis took his 3 nephews down to the site club whilst my husband Steve and I prepared the evening meal. They were gone some time, so we decided to go look for them. We were astonished to see all 4 of them sitting around a table inside the club, all laughing and drinking woodpecker cider and having a great time. They were all a little bit tipsy. Naturally they all got a telling off especially Curt, but it was lovely to see them all so funny and happy, and the boys making out they were drunk. During his illness he left home and moved into a flat in Sussex Street. It was at this time that we realized that he was getting deeper into drugs, and was very lonely. So eventually we got him a move to Trussel Crescent. During this time he spent a lot time in Melbury Lodge and other institutions for the mentally ill, but never recovered. I have a great love for Curtis, and I know he loved me, he also loved his sisters and nephews. I ask God to reach out His hand to my Curtis, and take him to His side and into the Kingdom of Heaven. And to look after him for me, and make him smile again. His suffering and pain is over and our happy memories of him will stay with his family forever. Carol Milner

Through the windows of my eye's
I see you standing all alone
There's a tear in your eye's
I can see that you want to come home

I dont think you realize
Your now in heaven above
You look so lonely standing there
But dont worry, were here my love

As long as we can see you
Through the windows of our eye's
I promise you our sweet Angel
True love will never die.
