Craig - You are so special to every single person who knew you. You had a way of leaving a mark on a person's heart to let them know they were truly special to you. You were a kind soul in a dark world. You were a lover, a giver and a genuine friend. But most of all ... You are missed. Happy birthday to you, my cousin, my friend, my brother ... See you on the other side. Theresa

I'll never forget the Christmas you kept bringing home presents for Mandy, Riley and Logan. It was weeks before Christmas but you were bringing presents home everyday after work. I thought that was so sweet of you. You were so kind and thoughtful, you will be missed.

Had to love that little crooked grin

As kids growing up all we ever seemed to do was fight each other and as we grew older into adulthood we found ourselves fighting for each other. You will always have a very special place in my heart and I will always cherish the good and the bad times we faced together. Love and miss you, Tonya.

We will always miss our most special nephew, so much like a son to me. We know your in the Lord's kingdom now, but we still miss you in the flesh, which is a very selfish thing I know to do. I am working on it. However, it's so hard, and you know we will always remember you forever. Since the time you were in the crib, until the last time we spoke I know where your heart was. Missing you and loving you everyday. You ment so much to so many. RIP my sweet sweet nephew. With much love, your Aunt Tollie and Uncle Ben

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
