Ellen and Boys,
I was shocked when my Dad called me and told me of the loss of Craig. I remember the first time I met my buddy the "Mafia Man" at camp. We had so much fun and saw God do great things in peoples lives. Your families friendship and faithfulness have ment a lot. Psalms 20 tells us we must "trust in the name of the Lord our God". Craig did that and now we must all do that as well until the time that we get called Home. May the light of Christ that Craig shared continue to...

Ellen,
It was always a pleasure to see you and Craig at the Union Gospel Mission each first Friday of the month. I always loved Craig's teachings and could always feel the presence of God throughout the room. He will be greatly missed. I know that he is rejoicing with the Lord right now and I am so happy for him. My sympathies to you and your family. I hope we will continue to see you at the Mission.

Dear Ellen and the boys, tears come to my eyes as I think of how we will all miss him. Our family has been so blessed by yours over and over again. Reading the other entries I thought of how he would tease my kids and say "kiss my face". Craig didn't just talk about Jesus, he walked it, ate it, served it, and lived it. What a wonderful servant and friend he was. Our hearts go out to you with our prayers. Someday we will be kissing his face again forever
