Courtney Curtis Ruins Homecoming
October 15, 2007 by Morbid
WESTCLIFFE, CO – During a homecoming parade on Saturday, Courtney Curtis, 15, tried to climb the stairs on one of the slow-moving floats being used in the parade. For unknown reasons, she slipped and fell under the trailer and the first set of tires stopped on top of her. She had been riding a float and tossing candy to spectators, but got off briefly when the procession turned around at the west end of Main Street. Courtney was alive when flown to Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs for treatment, but later died. Classes have been canceled at Custer County High School, where Principal Barbara Jones stated that “Everyone knows everyone, and we are a very close-knit community. Courtney has siblings in preschool, the elementary school and the middle school. Her mom is a cook at the school. No one is untouched,”
She also remarked that the school had just culminated a great homecoming week with fun, new activities that included a big community dinner and bonfire Thursday evening. Because of the accident, the homecoming football game with Crowley County and dance were canceled. “As I look back, some people commented it was the best homecoming ever, but Saturday was a horrible day. This will change the face of homecoming for years to come,” Jones said.

how dare you talk about courtney that way. She was an amazing girl who touched so many lives. first of all, she didnt ruin homecoming, a tragedy happened and we are left to live on without an amazing girl who was close to everyone. saying she ruined it is disrespectful to her, the life she lived, and all those who carry on her memory. second of all, to the dop person, dont talk about her in such demeaning terms, she was beautiful, we all know that, but to talk about her like she’s a piece of meat is degrading and disrespectful. if you had any idea how this impacted so many of us, even a year and a half later, you wouldn’t even dare to try to understand or even talk about her in the way you do. she was amazing, and im sorry she never touched your lives, but dont you dare for a second talk about in the way you do, you should be ashamed
