Not sure what to say?

The world was a brighter place with Craig and our family knows just how lucky we were that he was a part of our lives. You will never meet a more devoted husband, father, papa. To me he was a brother and a friend. Always letting me tag along when I was a young girl and as I grew up he always let me tag a log with my kids for camping trips. He led an adventurous life and always had a good story to tell over a beer or two. I feel blessed to have had him in our lives. He will always live on in...

I know I didn´t tell a story for Craig, or didn´t think I could have held it together enough to in person, but if I did I would have said that uncle Craig was a person that you could always count on, he was in fast action with me when I fell into the water to make sure I was safe as a small child, and he was first to save me when I was stranded by the side of the road (and from being alone with a weird tow truck guy), I remember him apologizing a couple times for being in his work clothes...

CRAIG WAS A LOVING HUSBAND AND FATHER, A FRIEND TO ALL HE MET. HE WILL BE DEARLY MISSED , WE ALL LOVED HIM VERY MUCH. THE WORLD WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER PLACE IF WE ALL ASPIRE TO BE MORE LIKE HIM.

Morning Stars Arrangement

Graig was always there to help anyone who needed it. That was the kind of person he was. One of the nicest I have ever met and proud to have known.

I had many fond memories with Craig and considered him a good friend. Joy and I send our condolences to Donna and the rest of the family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
