Anne Curtis and James E Curtis Smith


Actress and 'It's Showtime' host Anne Curtis paid tribute to her late dad, James E. Curtis-Smith, on his birthday.

Anne Curtis penned a touching message for her late father, James E. Curtis-Smith, on his special day.

As seen on her Instagram post, the actress-host shared some photos of her with her dad and expressed how much she misses him.

“Happy Birthday to my Father Dearest. Missing him with all of my heart. I can't help but ponder what it must be like up in heaven? If today, the angels celebrate him too, I hope they let him have a glass of wine. I know somewhere amongst the clouds and stars is where he sits and that's where I'll raise my glass to," she wrote.

In early January, Anne announced the passing of her father and received an outpouring of condolences from fellow celebrities and personalities.

"A true patriarch in every sense, he shaped us with strength, resilience, and a wit that will forever echo in our family. He was deeply loved, endlessly admired, and will live in our hearts always. We will miss him dearly," a part of her caption reads.
