Dear Rick, Shirley, Laura and Husband, and Family,
I'm sorry for the loss of Craig. I know the walk you are walking now is hard. I wish I could be there for you like you were there for me. I'm sure when Craig walks through the Golden Gates everyone will be waiting for him. Speak of him often and remember all the memories and he will stay alive in your heart !
Love, Elaine

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
but first of all to let you know, I arrived ok.
I'm writing this from heaven, Here I dwell with God above.
Here there's no more tears of sadness, here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning,noon,and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said "I Welcome You".
It's good to have you back again;you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; your part of my plan.
There's so much we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on that list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years,
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there were some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand..
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is O'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you, and many hills to climb,
but together we can do this one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too.
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who is in sorrow and pain.
then you can say to God at night...my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented...that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made someone smile.
When your walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind,
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go...from that body to be free,
remember your not going...your coming here to me.

I'm going to miss you, Big Hoss. You were larger than life...both physically and personally. You made a positive impact on all those you met. Although I only knew you for the past 7-8 months....I can honestly say you were a true friend. RIP Craig.

Craig was always a gentleman and I was so sad to hear of his passing at such a young age. After losing my brother recently in a tragic accident I know what Craig's family is feeling and hope that they will find comfort soon, as I have, in believing that our loved ones are now in a peaceful place with no sorrow or pain and will always be a part of us through our happy memories of them.

I am deeply saddened to hear about Craig's passing. I will always remember Craig for coming to so many football games to support his brother Rick and nephew little Ricky. To the family, I hope the heartache can be lifted with the thought of your Craig being in a better place with other loved ones lost.
