My prayers are with the family.

A Wonderful Person that I have known for as long as i have known Lenny Craig. My sorrow and my prayers go out to the entire family. May Mrs. Craig forever RIP.

Sending my thoughts, prayers and love. (Herbert Matt's daughter)

My prayers for the Family. She was a kind hearted woman with love in her soul for Jesus.She's going to be missed.

Ms. Marie was a very fine lady who I had the pleasure of working with for many years. "Grandma Craig" as she called herself to all of us. She always gave everyone a little crystal figurine for Christmas. I still have many of mine. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
