Are thoughts are with all the family at this time.

Niece's birthday We Love You Craig

Craig has endured pain for so long; now he is painfree. That is a beautiful thought. He is with his dad and Grandpa and Grandma Bursch, all who adored him and was so proud of him. Dona, my favorite cousin, special love and prayers to you; and Lori,Denise,Becky,Mike,Jim & Donna hold on to the memories.
A cousin, Alfred W. Nott

Dona,

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Losing a child is a hard thing to go through. My thoguhts and prayers go out to you.

I met Craig 20 years ago, and still remember him the way he was then; a fountain of information and a great sense of humor. He is well now and will be blessed for having been a member of your family.
My sympathies,
Rene

My deepest sympathy goes out to the whole Clemens family. While growing up with Becky your family played a big part of me being who I am today. The love and laughter you shared with each other meant a great deal.

Becky, no words can express the sorrow I have for you. When I lost my brother, Bernie, it was like a part of me was gone forever. The memories of what we shared are what sustains me today. I pray your memories with Craig with sustain you too.

Again, my deepest...

I was sorry to hear of your loss. I hope the rest of your family is doing well. My prayers are with you.

Dona- I was sorry to hear of Craig's passing. But I know he had suffered in the end and will have peace now. I hope you will as well. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Love, Nancy (Lisa's sister)
