Words cannot express my deepest sympathy for the Curry Family. Mrs Curry was like a mother away from home to me during my years I lived in Chicago. It really hurts me to my heart to hear of her passing however, I know she is not suffering any longer....She is in the presence of the LORD.



Sincerely,



Andrea Freeman Taylor & Family
