I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Courtney. My thoughts and prayers are with her children, Grace and Zeke and their families. I have wonderful memories of all of us growing up at Wesley.

- Kathryn Berlin Wegmann, La Grange, NC

Due to moving a lot, I haven't seen Courtney in a long time, but when I did come into town and run into her, she never forgot who I was and always had a smile and warm hug. I don't think she ever knew a stranger and everyone was always loved by her. She had a beautiful soul. Rest in peace courtney. The world won't be the same without you, but H3aven became a sweeter place. My love, prayers and condolences to the family and loved ones.

- Shelley D Smith, Jesup, GA

I’m deeply saddened by the loss of such a wonderful woman. Courtney was one of the first people I met when I moved to Savannah many years ago, and she welcomed me with open arms, making me feel like a local instead of an outsider. We shared many fun moments singing together and just chatting about trivial things. She had a knack for finding the perfect joke to brighten any situation. Her warmth and humor will be dearly missed, and her absence will be felt profoundly. My thoughts are with her sons as they mourn her loss.

- Leigh Herald, Pooler, GA

Grace And Zeke, It's been a long time since seeing Courtney, or " Courtie Girl" as your mother called her when we were growing up but I won't ever forget your little sister who tagged after us while climbing trees or alley picking in the lanes behind 65th. Street. Not a bit shy and always wanting to play and ride bikes with the older kids Courtney did her best to keep up. I'm so sorry for her loss and its accompanying grief that is among you all. She is loved. Sending heartfelt condolences to you now and always. May Courtney soar with the angels.

- Julia Jones Williams, Isle of Hope, Georgia

Dear Grace, We send our warmest condolences to you on the passing of Courtney. She was such a friendly, giving person. I had the pleasure of visiting her several years ago. Now she is at peace with her Father. Prayers and blessings to you and your family. Bonnie and Peter Delvers

Nancy and I were so sorry to learn of Courtney's passing. We had a wonderful visit with Courtney and her extended family in Lake Junaluska, NC a few years ago at a Family Reunion. So glad to hear her two sons and family were at her side when she passed away and all our love goes out to Grace and Zeke and Family.

- Rex Knight, Cortlandt Manor, NY
