“Today’s service is about healing and reconciliation and the institution of family,” said Rev. Christopher Bullock, pastor of Canaan Baptist Church. “The deep roots of the Jamaican culture will be on display here as it relates to the strong connection of family. The fact that they are so strong and anchored in family and faith it will serve as a great benefit for today and beyond today.”
Mr. Curry was a generous member of our community who gave his heart to those whose voices could not always be heard. Although he was taken tragically and all too soon, his contributions will live on in the successes of those he supported.
It has become a sad C&E1st tradition to share this song with readers when we remember those taken all too soon. "Fireflies" was a favorite song of a young man who has since left us, but whose story and tenacity has stayed with me always.
