Uncle Terry, I know you are sharing laughs and love with my dad, and the rest of the Craven clan. We know dad was there when you said your first mass, it was such a prayerful experience. I will pray to my special St Terence for guidance and spiritual insight.

Thank you for your service.

When you walked into a room your smile filled the room your energy was amazing & I thank God that you got to be a part of our lives at St. John Newman. You will be Greatly Missed, We all love you very much Fr. Terry, and we know now you are with your Heavenly Father. Thank you for your kindness.

I just started working for the Diocese of Lubbock 1 1/2 years ago, so I didn't know Father Craven very long, but he was an inspiration to me everytime I got a chance to visit with him. He will be greatly missed.

Our deepest sympathy to all of Terrys' family. I had the pleasure of working with him at ATTIS on Jericho Turnpike from 1983 to 1986. He was a very nice person with a great sense of humor and we had many good times. We lost touch over the years but was very pleased to see he forfilled his lifelong dream of becoming a priest. He probably never realized either, how many peoples lives he touched and all who remember him. I will keep him in our prayers. A former co-worker and a friend

Even though Father Terry's time at St John Neumann was brief we were blessed to have him as a priest. We could tell that Father Terry loved God. The parishioners at St John Neumann will miss him and his beautiful smile. With love and prayers Leticia and Michael.

I thank God for sending Father Terry to St. John Neumann Parish in Lubbock, Texas. I remember Father Terry coming to our home to celebrate with us our daughter graduating from college. Father Terry was also there at my wedding reception. Father Terry was a pleasant person to be around. He always greeted me with kindness and a smile. To the family of our beloved priest, I will pray a rosary for you. May God bring you comfort and healing. Thank you for sharing Father Terry with us at St....

Thank you Uncle Terry for filling our lives with happiness and joy. We have great memories and we'll miss you very much. Thank you for being so kind and caring to my mom Patricia and to my grandmother Nonna.
