Not sure what to say?

Dear Uncle Craig,

A thousand tears ago
you had a life with us,
full of laughter and love.

But now you are a spirit
sailing over us all.

You can see us celebrating
your successful life,
and you see us mourning
your sudden death.

But most of all,
we want you to know that
every moment shared with you,
our amusing Uncle Craig,
will never leave our hearts.

We can all learn a lot from the life of a person like Craig Jones. He was someone who did not have an ego, who put himself second, and never had a bad thing to say about anyone. I was lucky enough to spend time with Craig and Carol on several occasions. My fondest memory of Craig was watching him snap photos at my wedding on 9/11/1999. I am also honored to have watched him develop a close relationship with Michael. I can't think of a better role model to help get Michael started on the right...

Craig is my cousin and I have had the privilege of knowing him his entire life. All of us are stunned over his premature death, but we look back on his life and admire who he was and all that he accomplished. His bright and caring character was well evidenced by family, friends, and associates at his funeral. In addition to being a devoted husband, he also became a family man in later years, taking on the responsibilities and joys of being a father with a deep commitment to his son. He has...

Although it's been far too many years since I last spoke with Craig, I consider it an honor for me to call him my friend. I always thought of Craig as a decent man.
The world is going to be a poorer place now that there is a Craig sized hole in it.

I worked with Craig at Lowe's for three years,I had left Lowe's to have my son.I was there on monday the 7th with my two's sons,and got to vist with him.I'm so happy we got to see him.I will miss his jokes,and him picking on me. His family was bless to have him. He was such a great guy.

Our family knew Craig through the children's projects at Lowe's. For the past three years our family would go to the store and see Craig. He always had a nice thing to say or encouraging words for a finished project. No matter how the finshed product turned our. Our children looked forward to seeing Craig and getting is thumbs up. Even on days Craig was working in another department, we always had to go find him and get his approval. In the past three years our family shared stories about...

To my Cruddy Craig...

I guess God needed you more than we did. You were an angel on earth, and now your an angel in heaven to watch over us all. I will miss you terribly, and will think of you always. But I will always think of you rocking in your rocking chair while grandma & grandpa cuddled in their recliner. I am so glad you got to be a dad because we always knew you would be a wonderful one.

I love you & miss you.

Your little sister,

Craig was a kind and giving person who was always a pleasure to be around. It fills me with sadness, but also joy, to see the beautiful picture of Carol and Craig. I wish for Carol and Michael and the rest of the family that fond memories of him will be in your hearts always.

I'm very sorry to hear of Craig's passing. I worked with him briefly at Fireman's Fund and he was always so pleasant to be around. He'll be missed.
