  2. I wonder if the Lord hands out angel wings, and the size of these wings depends on the amount of love you have in your heart. And if that's the case then you my sweet girl have the largest set. I'm so sorry sweetheart that this world became all to much. Be at peace honey. But do me a favor and from up above spread those wings as wide as you can, and put them tightly around those of us who deal with depression. on and other forms of mental illness. Hold us tight. Protect us. I love you.

  4. Dear Courtney's Family: Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter with us. Courtney was a Corps school friend of my son, Cory Green. I remember Facebook chatting with Courtney about her South Glens Falls roots, as I was from Hartford, NY. Cory was the one who pointed out that both she and I were from NY. She was a beautiful young woman with a firecracker personality, and I know Cory thought a lot of her and will miss their chats very much. We are so sorry for your loss and are sending you hugs and prayers. Love, Marianne Green - St. Albans, VT

  8. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the battered-down in spirit. He hath swallowed up death for ever; and the Lord will wipe away tears from off all faces.
    Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life. The righteous shall inherit the earth, and dwell therein for ever, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace
    Psalm 34:18; Isaiah 25:8; John 5:28,29; Psalm 37:11,29

  10. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Cyndi and I were crazy about Courtney and I loved her like one of my own. She was an outstanding Sailor with endless potential and I always thought it my duty to expose that. So thank you Courtney for your service to our country and for your wonderful friendship.

  14. Johnna, our hearts are breaking for your loss. Courtney was a beautiful girl with an infectious smile and an incredible sense of humor. I remember when she returned from the nave and hid on my washing machine behind closed doors. She jumped out to surprise me and we both ended up on the kitchen floor. We'll miss her terribly. May God be with you at this time. JoAnn Cova

  20. To the family of Courtney, I can't begin to know what you are going through but I can only share the joy and honor of knowing Courtney for a short time in Pensacola, I worked with her on L&D and she made it so much fun and yet, she was so good and smart at what she did. It truly saddens my heart that she is no longer with us and we'll never hear her jokes or laughter. I pray she is at peace in heaven and her beautiful spirit lives on forever in the memories of all who knew her.
