Memorial: Brother Curtis Ray Hanspard



"Beyond the gate your love one finds happiness and rest"
Brother Curtis Ray Hanspard
Alpha December 4, 1954
Omega April 15, 1968

Service Sunday, April 21, 1968

We picture death as coming to destroy; let us rather picture Christ as coming to save. We think of death as ending: let us rather think of life as beginning. We think of parting, let us think of meeting.

Today we come at the will of God Almighty to pay our last respect to our dear one, Curtis Ray Hanspard who was born to the family of Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Lee Hanspard of West Monroe, Louisiana.

Curtis Ray was quiet and some what timid, yet he possessed all qualities of a growing boy.
He entered Central High School at the age of six and progressed with his class to the seventh grade of which he was a member at death.
Curtis Ray accepted Christ in 1963 under the pastorage of Reverend J.D.Jackson and filled his place in the children and youth department of the Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church until death.
He was a member of the 4-H Club and Boy Scout Troop 113 and was active in each.
Curtis Ray departed life Monday morning, April 15, 1968.
He leaves to mourn his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Lee Hanspard, West Monroe, Louisiana; six sisters, three brothers, maternal grandparents, one nephew, ten aunts, five uncles and many other relatives, schoolmates and friends.
