Craig, you were always a welcome addition to Book Club, never fearful when you were the lone male! We still miss you.

The Lord needed another warrior angel in heaven, so he took you home to serve. Your time on Earth was brief. Your time in heaven is eternal. Heather will see you again when she goes home to the Lord. But for now, you two must part. It will only seem like the blink of an eye before you are together again for eternity. While you were here, you were well-loved. Go with the Lord.

Heather and family, I am very sorry for your loss. Craig was a very kind man who always made me smile. I loved having wonderful conversations with him and will miss our reminiscing about older music. He was one of my favorite lefties and fellow Beatles lover. I love you and your family, especially Zorro. Stay strong and G-d bless. You are all in my prayers.

I grieve with you in your loss, Heather. I know we never met... I'm a long time guitarist friend of Craig's. Craig was and is one of the most gentle and caring people I've ever met- something you no doubt know more than anyone else does. I don't believe I ever heard him utter a single negative word about another human being, except in jest. He will be greatly missed and you will be in my prayers.
