CURT W. MEYRAN In Loving Memory of CURT W. MEYRAN January 23, 2005 We'll never understand. Can this really be true? Why? Today the Angels came just for you You never liked sad things You always said "No Tears" But, Curt how can we go on without you here? Always so full of life, that's the gentle man we knew We never understood the job you loved to do Now you're our Guardian Angel and we miss you so much We long for the chance once more to feel your tender touch Our table has an empty space - no one will ever take your place You were taken too soon and that's hard to forgive - We had so many more years together - Together to live So this is your tribute The best we could do, we'll never be the same without you My love, our life, and the "bestest" Dad ever! We will always love you now and forever The Curt Meyran Family Jeanette, Dennis, Angela and Danine and Bingo too!

It was Sunday night, January 23, 2005. We were in the middle of a blizzard and I was in labor for the second day. Patiently I waited for the time lapse between contractions to speed up so I could finally go to the hospital and have the baby. The phone rang...it was Jeanette. She asked how I was doing. I started elaborating about my two day ordeal. When I asked how she was doing her response was, "NOT GOOD. I NEED TO SPEAK TO TONY." I could tell by the tone of her voice that something was wrong, really wrong. I called upstairs for Tony to pick up the phone. Within seconds I heard a bone chilling cry of agony. The sound of banging and crashing followed. I ran to the steps to find my husband in tears. Are you alright? What is going on? Tony came downstairs. As he embraced me he managed to utter, "Curt is dead." The days that followed were the strangest mix of joy and pain. Our son was born the following morning. I could see the joy in my husbands eyes, but there was also a cloud of saddness left by the death of his friend. For me, the shock of the news had not set in. I could not believe that Curt was gone. Needless to say, I was unable to do much that week, especially with the new baby. My husband attended the wake for several days and then the funeral. He came home each night, speechless. Unable to talk or share his grief. I did what I could to comfort him, but could not imagine the pain he was feeling. The thought of Jeannette, the kids and what they were going through overwhelmed me. I could not muster the courage to pick up the phone to offer my condolences. Curt's picture hangs on our refrigerator. Everyday I glance over and I still can't believe that he is gone. Curt was an all around terrific guy, a great friend and someone you truly enjoyed being around. Curt was also a fighterfighter, who dedicated his life to saving others and died in the line of duty. Thank you Curt for touching our lives,   - Tony, Suzi, Presen and Anthony Jr. P.S.
