I did not know your brother or your family. As I was reading, I said this is the best written, heartfelt memory I have ever read. May you always remember the good times you had with your brother. -Ann Watson

Dear George, Sending condolences for you and your family. What a beautiful tribute you wrote in Craig´s passing and what memories he left. My brother Don was the son of God for a while. He left an array of stories to be sure. It´s hard being human, isn´t it? I wish you and yours well and hope you have a great celebration with its mixture of madness, humor and love in his honor.
