Please accept my deepest condolences. It's very difficult to lose a loved one. Even "Jesus gave way to tears." (John 11:35) when his freind Lazarus died. But he did something extraordinary that gives us a glimpse of what he'll do soon; "...Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said, 'Father, I thank you that you have heard me. True, I knew that you always hear me, but I spoke on account of the crowd standing around, so that they may believe that you sent me.' When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: 'Lazarus, come out!' The man who had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them 'Free him and let him go.'" (John 11:41-44)

God is faithful and he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. (1 Cor. 10:13)

We were all very sad to hear about Craig. We recently had the opportunity to have Craig as our daughters coach. He was patient, caring ,and very knowledgable about the game. We really enjoyed your whole family and I loved the laughter that you all had. Our hearts go out to all of you and this difficult time.
