God Bless the intire family in the loss of Craig. In God's plan he needed him more and most likely he had a building project with Craig in mind to fit the large task.
Many blessings to the family in your loss and sorrow.

Craig, this candle is for you because I know you are home in heaven. God needed you more than we did!! You had a big heart and always knew how to make people smile. You gave me a beautiful daughter that has made us both proud!! I am eternally greatful for that. I am also thankful to you for the extended family that you gave to me Mom and Dad, your sisters, The Pursell's, the kids and Paula! You made the best choice in her as a great step mom for our daughter and a wonderful wife to you! Our marriage ended long ago but our friendship never did! I will miss you but know that we will all meet again!! Love you Craig...Rest in peace friend!!
