Not only were Curt & Phyllis longtime friends and Brookwood neighbors of ours, Curt was a fellow founding member of a Bible study known as the MOB which stands for the "Men Of Brookwood." We know this is a SAD time for Phyllis and her family, but we also know that this is a GLAD time knowing (that as "Believers" they will see him again. Sincerely, O & Diane Sampson
