Hey, Craig. Here we are 11 days later and I still can't come to terms w/ what happened. I wish life would stop so I can have my time to myself and grieve over the loss of one of my best friends. I think about you everyday. Nothing will ever be the same without you. I'll miss hearing your hilarious jokes, making fun of Chantel, your sincere and giving personality, and most of all your infectious laughter. I'll never understand why you were taken from us. I will forever cherish all of our childhood memories and the memories we had together as adults. I love you, cuz.

Our family got to know Craig when he dated my daughter Jackie several years ago. Craig had a humorous, kind, giving spirit about him. Jackie, Marcus and I welcomed his jokes, antics and visits. He is fondly remembered by the Dauksha Family.

My Craig boy. This is Mom. I never had to do this before for my child, and I don't want a parent to go through this heartbreaking pain that I feel right now. If I could only give you one more hug, and hold you, and say I Love you one more time. I can see how everyone loved you. Your family, your friends, have come to help me, Dad, Deniene, Zach, and Chad try to get through this. I won't see you again, and today at the funeral home, when you were only a few doors away, I wanted so bad to run to you, to see you, to hold you, but my family said you looked too bad. I won't see you on Friday either, you are being cremated, like you wanted. So I will remember you on Sunday when we spent the day together, you had a lot of smiles and as always made everyone laugh that day. My heart is breaking, but my love for you will always be there, my son. I will help take care of little Riley, and keep her in my life, as I know you would have wanted. Until we meet again......Love Mom and Dad
