To the family of Mrs. Craig. As you celebrate the life of Mrs. Craig and her home going I want to know that she has touched many lives during her life time and that includes mine. Her son Robert and I used to play together as 5 year olds as she would pay a visit to my family. She has lived a full life and it is now time for her to rest with the Saviour from her labors. The Apostle John said that "Jesus said "I will never leave you nor forsake you let not your hearts be troubled neither let it be afraid." I am praying that you will accept the comfort of God who will give you the peace and assurance you need at this time. My family mourns with you.
Sincerely,
